Artist 8 - Jennifer Ringley

The website JenniCam all started when 19 year old Jennifer Ringley decided to install a web cam in her dorm room. Images would be posted onto the website and the website would automatically refresh after three minutes. So you could see everything she was doing all the time. This was basically a video diary or a documentary of her life; which was boring for the most part, except for the times when she would engage in sexual activity.

I think that back when JenniCam first started in 1996 people were shocked that they would expose their lives in such a way. After all, the internet was pretty new back then.. not as advanced as it is today. So i think Jennifer Ringley was kind of a dare devil! I found it fascinating to learn that on average she would have 2-3 million viewers a day. Its crazy to think how many hours people spent watching Jennifer right from their own computer just waiting for something interesting to happen!
