The story

What this was

A Tumblr, then a book and two television series, built entirely from posts the subjects put up voluntarily. One of the first demonstrations that a feed could be turned into an exhibit without taking anything.

It first appeared in 2012, during the social era.

Behind the record

Where it came from

There is no original to identify: this spread through many separate posts at once rather than from a first one. ViralWorld holds no copy of it either — what it was, when it spread and what people called it is the record.

Nothing here is claimed to be the first version of this, because research established there was not one — it appeared in many places at once.

Not established. This index only names a creator where the evidence supports it.
