About:
Chatroulette is based on three parts, in each of which the audience and the performer change. It deals with the mechanisms of social networking sites in general and specificly with those produced by chatting through a webcam. The name is taken from the chatting platform chatroulette.com, which was also the media used for the performance. On chatroulette the users are coincidentally connected via webcams and chatting by using text or sound. Everybody can stop a conversation by clicking the "next" button.

Final direction:
