The internet is filled with things. Here are some of them.
These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you).Or, if you're looking to step back in time, there's also IMG_0001 which operates a similar mission:
Between 2009 and 2012, iPhones had a built-in "Send to YouTube" button in the Photos app. Many of these uploads kept their default IMG_XXXX filenames, creating a time capsule of raw, unedited moments from random lives.
WORDS.ZIP is an "infinite collaborative word search game" that you play right in your web browser, and although in my opinion it works best on a computer, it will work on your mobile device. But what's interesting, is the meta aspect of it. Zoom in and you search for words, but zoom out – way out – and you will find patterns carved into the grid. Crude drawings, peoples' names, graffiti – all the usual nonsense that comes from any online anonymous collaborative artwork.
I love that the internet does this to people. It's glorious
