While the majority of the artists on Your Gallery employ the site as a showcase for reproductions of their art, the 'Lonely Hearts Correspondence Club' is one of only a few wholly web-based works. The project directly engages the Internet's intimate psychological significance for many users. The Internet rarely lives up to reality but the 'Lonely Hearts Correspondence Club' makes real art out of our on-line fantasies. The project's creators do not mock or belittle needy nerds and hopeful web-surfers. Instead, the tone of the project is appropriately maudlin, yet seductive and sincere. The accompanying images are also sexy and Gothic enough to create romance out of the loneliness that causes a keyboard call-out.
