<div>Digital mass culture is increasingly self-referential, generating
social media that displays an endless series of private spaces. Even
while most of these spaces are intended only as backdrops in videos or
photographs, this is the first time we are able to see inside so many
private homes. This video series, entitled<b> YourCribs</b>, combines
the cultures surrounding YouTube videos and the early 2000s reality
television program, MTV Cribs, which features tours of celebrity
homes. Like MTV Cribs, we broadcast a selection of domestic spaces,
but unlike the orchestrated tour-guided format of Cribs, we adapt the
conventions of YouTube genres that inadvertently expose private
interiors to the public sphere.</div>
