Default filename tv (2019);

Default filename tv is a YouTube aggregator that serves only videos that were uploaded directly from the camera, without edits to the filename. With titles like 1453.MOV and DSC_9056, these small moments point back to an era of YouTube that was intimate, personal, and mundane. The majority are short, under a minute, and have view-counts in the dozens (if that). Default filename tv directly works against monetization trends by prioritizing fragments of these deeply human moments that are at turns boring, silly, sad, tender, beautiful, disgusting, or triumphant.
