For BEFNOED—”By Everyone For No One Every Day”—the artists provide instructions for anonymous workers to film themselves performing various acts. Because they are hired through crowdsourcing services, we do not know who or where they are, or even their motivations. The monitors are installed in atypical positions: mounted against one another, or situated a few feet above ground. In order to watch the video, viewers are forced into a series of physically awkward and bizarre positions, in a sense taking on the role of performers in the space. The ability to watch people who are paid to perform and entertain us, comes at the price of becoming subjects themselves.
