“On her final day as a pioneering internet celebrity, Jennifer Ringley got up some time after 7.30am, used her computer for a while at around 1.15pm, had something to eat at 6.15pm, and then apparently went out for the evening.” (The Guardian, 3.1.2004)

On December 31, 2003, JenniCam.org, the first live streamer on the internet, went offline, never to return.

As a painter and writer, Krys Huba’s research centers on what they call the “pre-streamers” of the twentieth century who addressed the camera directly and sustained a permanent gaze. Drawn to this strange beauty of reclaiming one’s own body, and the fight to possess it, Jenni’s story became an impulse for Krys Huba‘s series of paintings and writing, following the traces that trans, non-binary, agender, intersex, and women pioneers have left online across the history of the internet; traces that remain largely unread. Huba brings the stories they tell into dialogue with a digital present caught between the renegotiation of Foucault‘s Panopticon, the stalker as a figure of unauthorized access, and the deepfake that strips bodies of their consent.
