PROJECT FILE: ‘Proof’ by Brad Troemel
Proof
Brad Troemel
Artist/digital native Brad Troemel has edited together a series of video clips of girls reciting their MySpace ID numbers. According to Troemel, these users are reciting their numbers on camera in order to prove that their profiles are authentic. Apparently, it’s common practice to steal videos and photos from a popular MySpace profile, and use them to create a fake profile page in someone else’s image.
Note: This project is not included in the exhibition The New Normal.
