BEFNOED – an acronym for By Everyone, For No One, Every Day – involves providing anonymous workers with instructions to film themselves performing various acts. Since these individuals are hired through crowdsourcing platforms, their identities, locations, and motivations remain unknown to us. The resulting videos are displayed in museums and distributed across obscure, peripheral, or forgotten social networks worldwide.
Within the museum, the monitors are deliberately arranged in a way that compels viewers to adopt physically awkward and unconventional positions to view the work.
