Ontology of The Webcam

And they don't only have to be solos. Couples fuck in front of cameras... and the set up suggests that they are alone. Normal filmmaking presupposed the presense of the filmmaker, although they are invisible their effect is to signify our own gaze. An objective webcam camera aesthetic both foregrounds and sublimates that gaze, automatizes and challenges its primary power position.

Although the couple are doing it to each other, they are also, and by preplanning a documentation, really doing it for the document. For us.

The presense of the filmmaker is a given, an invisible signifier of our gaze. Here, our awareness through the image-making mise-en-scene - the handheld camera more than anything else - establishes that the gaze - our gaze - is dependant upon a participant, not just an unseeing camera.

Below, similar embedded visual cues are present, but also the appearance of a pony-tailed white guy at the beginning (while the camera is still (on a tripod?) before the black guy enters) establishes that the gaze is mediated and is passing through a previous interrogation. Indeed, the new narrative is as much who's filming this act as the act itself (inflected as it is with a clandestine aura of a hotel room, during the day, interracial and possibly mis-matched ages), impacting it with a strong filter and meaning that renders the spectacle forbidden.

This is intentional and material, not otherwise embedded in a straight un-manned video. The immediacy and spontaneity remains and is emphasized, a witness capturing not only something that is normally hidden, but hidden from an observer with a camera, which makes it timeless, repeatable, broadcastable, public and evidence.

Self-filming



Found here.

You opened the porch door and pulled the curtain. You put the camera on the coffee table and took off your pants. You spread your legs by the window. You put your head back so your face wouldn't be visible... and you began to finger yourself. Your thighs and legs tightened as you got closer to orgasm. Your high-heeled feet stretched on the hard wooden floor. Your pussy moistened and you finally squirted onto your fingers and the hard wood.

Your convulsions and thick thighs make precum ooze from my erection. You captured this for yourself to see what you looked like, and then you shared it. An anonymous self-filmed handfuck. Unscripted and yet premeditated. Spontaneous and forever.
