Finding yourself in the Craigslist casual encounters personal ads feels like accidentally stepping into a new world you never knew existed. It has its own language (i.e. I’m a DDF w4m who’s down to be FWB, is HWP, and into sub/dom). It has its own societal norms and code of conduct (discreteness and height/weight proportionality are *key* to be being a productive Craigslist casual encounter citizen). Essentially, it’s like you accidentally got invited to tha*t Eyes Wide Shut* orgy, only instead of creepy masks, everyone’s face has been replaced by a dick pic.

[*Love Letters from Craig*](http://www.lovelettersfromcraig.org/?ref=killscreen.com), a piece by Cartelle Interactive Arts, opens this lurid and unsettling world of virtual sweet nothing to 18+ viewers who dare to enter the site past it’s early 2000-style entry page. Inside *Love Letter from Craig* is a synthesized voice rendering of random Craiglist casual encounters, to the backdrop of various cascading objects such as: a severed breast, lipstick, bananas, and pills.

The voice—a sultry combination of that robot from *I, Robot* and whoever voices Tom Tom GPS navigation systems—captures even the dirtiest and thirstiest ads with a sense of dignity. At the very least, I know I’ll never hear the words “creamy load” and “dominant man cock” delivered with such restraint.

Cartelle Interactive Arts calls *Love Letters from Craig* “a romantic exploration into the perversions of modern-day digital hookups.” To an extent, *Love Letters From Craig* does feel like looking into a fun house mirror of romance: a funny distortion of our collective adolescent mind, chasing fantasies and testing our limits (and genitals ). *Love Letters From Craig* is the logical conclusion to sex on the internet: a wasteland of pornographic loneliness—their cries for help emitting from below the belt and culminating into one, long groan of despair.

Oh, and pro tip: avoid the reply button on any *Love Letters From Craig* post at all costs.
