What does the most private space look like when it becomes a stage?

In Between — You Can Look. You Cannot Touch.

An exhibition installation exploring live camming as architecture. Two hundred cam rooms on Stripchat were observed, catalogued, and averaged into a single genderless space — assembled from data, not imagination. The result is a hacked IKEA bed inside a room you cannot enter, only observe through a hole in the wall.

You don't need a studio. You need a bed, a camera, and a connection.

2/3

49% white sheets. 36% warm light. 37% keyboard within reach. The statistical average of desire is almost identical across genders.

3/3

White sheets that belong to no one in particular — and therefore to everyone.

Live camming is the one corner of the porn industry you cannot pirate — because what is being sold is not content, but presence.

3/4

The cam room is not a fantasy. It is a workplace.

4/4

The bedroom became infrastructure. The body became the interface.

A project made in the course

The Media Bedroom

The Media Bedroom is a bachelor-level course in Interior & Exhibit Design that introduces students to the fundamental principles of exhibition design through the critical investigation of the bedroom as a post-domestic space. Drawing on Paul B. Preciado’s notion of post-domesticity, the course approaches the bed not as an intimate, isolated object, but as a media-saturated device—an infrastructural node where bodies, images, data, labor, and desire converge. Once understood as the ultimate site of privacy, the bedroom today is continuously perforated by communication technologies that transform it into a stage, a studio, a workplace, and a broadcast interface.
