YourCribs #3: How to Make a Paperweight with Natalie Jeremijenko

Digital mass culture is increasingly self-referential, generating social media that displays an endless series of private spaces. Even while most of these spaces are intended only as backdrops in videos or photographs, this is the first time we are able to see inside so many private homes. This video series, entitled YourCribs, combines the cultures surrounding YouTube videos and the early 2000s reality television program, MTV Cribs, which features tours of celebrity homes. Like MTV Cribs, we broadcast a selection of domestic spaces, but unlike the orchestrated tour-guided format of Cribs, we adapt the conventions of YouTube genres that inadvertently expose private interiors to the public sphere. This episode Natalie Jeremijenko presents the making of a paperweight using the tutorial genre. She explores the minimal criteria for something to function as a paperweight, and questions the utility and futility of the object. This episode was aired on February 17, 2015 on StorefrontTV at the Storefront for Art and Architecture in NYC. http://www.storefrontnews.org/ Creators: Leigha Dennis & Farzin Lotfi-Jam http://www.yourcribs.net
