The folks at IOCOSE have a number of art project undertakings worth having a look at (Game Arthritis and In the Long Run among them) but their latest is First Viewer TV; a collection of YouTube videos with Zero views. There's obviously a reason for such a low playback count on the content within but there's still a draw to see the kinds of videos put up on youtube and never viewed by anyone else. The only downside is that I don't think the playlist is dynamically generating or random; it's a fixed playlist for the time being but there's enough in there to draw your eye for quite awhile. The playlist is updated every 20 minutes and is generated via the Youtube API. You can even see the code for it here. Regardless, it's like the Internet equivalent of a trainwreck - you can't look away.
