Before the world of finstas—private instagrams specifically made for shitposting to a small social circle—there was the Geocities personal homepage. These could be described as  hybrids between social platforms and public diaries, both website and performance at once. This body of work is an accumulation of personal archival materials digitized into a 2000’s Geocities homepage. By logging on to the domain, the viewer is able to explore this narrative performance of web-self within the artists’ fictionalized childhood bedroom, bringing the voyeurism of online social spaces into question and bending the rules of socially acceptable oversharing.
