Entering a term into the YouTube Relevance Finder reveals something unique about
how the term is defined in our society. It reflects information about our culture back to
us in a number of strange, sometimes frightening ways.

A YouTube Relevance Project: Porn, Selected
2 min clip from 57-minute video

Porn Selected is a 57-minute video, which is
completely made up of YouTube videos that are:

-Tagged with the word PORN,
-Shot from a static camera (web cam or similar),
-Of a single female dancing in her room—alone and performing for an
audience that will only witness this remotely.

This video is decidedly a non-narrative, ambient kind of video that raises issues of
viewer/voyeur and YouTube's self-perpetuating gender roles and gender performativity.
This trend of the female dancing, alone in her room, is an extremely popular cyclical
YouTube occurrence.
