Video as an expressive tool has been used since its introduction into the creative world. Being such, it is no surprise that there are varying interpretations as to what video should record. Advances in technology allow for modernized versions such as webcams to be used by millions in the privacy of their own home. to others, such as Jennifer Ringley, a webcam is a tool not to be used in privacy, but rather to publicly document everyday life. Additionally, Rosalind Krauss called video "the aesthetics of narcissism." In this context, video acts as a mirror and indicator of self presence. A monologue begins between the video and user and creates a story that only the author can truly translate.
