COED DORM SHOWER
    Jill Miller - Los Angeles based, art, USA
Site Description:
The CoedDormShower site features a live webcam in an actual coed, collegiate environment. Why don't these coeds look like all the other ones on porn sites? Because they're real, unlike most "sorority" cams or "dorm" cams.
 
This camera was set up in a shared coed bathroom at a public university. The students in the environment were told that the bathroom was under the surveillance of a webcam. They were encouraged to use the bathroom for any reason, whether it was for performance art, exhibitionist impulses, or simply for bathing and showering. The question comes to mind: given the context,is there a difference between these actions?
