This work is composed of a browser-based video compilation and a video installation that assembles found footage from YouTube vlogs with less than 100 or even zero views. It emphasises the vloggers’ self-awareness in their performative statements of boredom as they look at their representation on-screen with the hope to be viewed, subscribed to, commented on, liked, shared, and followed by others. The work explores the notion that the feeling of boredom on social media, with the Internet at large, and with daily life suffused with digital media technologies is part of a post-digital symptom of disenchantment in which social media and digital technologies fail to entertain these vloggers.
