BEFNOED—an acronym for By Everyone, For No One, Every Day—is a project in which anonymous workers are instructed to film themselves performing various acts. Because they are hired through crowdsourcing platforms, their identities, locations, and motivations remain unknown. The resulting videos are exhibited in museums and circulated across obscure, peripheral, or forgotten social networks worldwide.
In the museum, the monitors are arranged to force viewers into uncomfortable viewing positions.
