Who has the privilege to gaze? Who are subject for gaze? These questions are repeated not only in art history but also in visual culture studies. The visual power is strong in photographs and moving images where female bodies are exposure to Camera and male gaze. This paper analyzes a few video clips of Madonna to observe who rule its visual power first. Then it looks into a setting of peep show in Madonna's clip "Open Your Heart" in 1986 and Peter Weir film "Truman Show" in 1998 to reveal how Peeped gained power to watch. Finally it presents webcams, a broadcasting one's private life via internet. It looks similar to peep show or Truman Show, however this is a new type of expression since gazed cam girls / boys produce and distribute their image from their web site. We shall put these questions on gaze to webcams to see the possibility for new communication.
