For more than two years Antoine Martin explored the contents of the main online camera directory, insecam.com, focusing on virtual masses — a phenomenon that grew rapidly during the pandemic. In an age of meeting online and of the digitisation of information, the series shows the ubiquity of remote surveillance and the part played by new technologies in liturgical space. Presented in a volume that borrows the look of a missal, the screenshots ask what remains of a rite watched through a fixed camera.
