ISBN: 0918290023."Web Affairs is an artistā??s documentation of an adult video web community. The artist, Show-n-tell, tells her story of being a voyeur and eventually becoming part of this community through a series of images and actual chat text. Initially shy, she asks men to show her their rooms. She finds naked men by their computers in their office spaces, living rooms and bedrooms. She collects images of their naked bodies juxtaposed with their surrounding computer equipment. Eventually she becomes a regular within the community and makes friends. People share their personal crises with her. One woman is living with her boyfriend but is having an affair with another man onlineā?¦ A prematurely retired man is feeling lonely at home and tells her, ā??The wife works from 7am to 5pm, comes home, watches TV and falls asleep, sex once a week on Saturday mornings. Now I play on the computer, a great mind gone to waste! I lost 20 lbs since June when I finally stopped drinking, but now I am addicted to these rooms.ā? The main narrative, however, is told through Show-n-tellā??s voice. She participates in the community both as an observer and a performer. After a while she has her own virtual sex show but as a married woman she too negotiates the limits of her explorations within virtual space with her real life partner. The electronic images gathered in chatrooms are transformed as photographic stills in the book. Because of the limits of the technology the image disintegrates into pixels which speak to a new sensibility in image making. The text also takes on an electronic accent. The members of virtual communities have transformed the English language by using acronyms that are incomprehensible to the outsider and yet are understood even by non-English speakers. This artistā??s book is a documentation of Show-ntellā??s navigation through erotic virtual space. But like most documentaries, the material has been electronically edited and graphically redesigned to dramatically communicate her story.".

Large 4to. (Approx 9.5 x 13"). 144pp. Illustrated throughout with color photographs. An artist's book project by a woman who entered the world of online sex out of curiosity and became a fascinated participant. "With the availability of cheaper computers, faster web access and small video cameras, virtual communities have come to include people of all ages, economic and educational backgrounds, and from all different parts of the world. These virtual rooms are where singles, couples, straights, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transvestites, crossdressers, fetishists. everyone, come to play. As a friend I met online said to me 'it's safe sex,' a safe way to have an online encounter. This book is the documentation of my time spent as a member of an online community where I captured pictures, recorded conversations and even personal confessions. I became part of a more open and liberated community where our fantasies empowered us. And I returned to 'real life' enriched, the distinction between real and virtual no longer so clear."
