Many women who experience online sexual harassment cope by deleting inappropriate messages and trying to forget about them. Mia Matsumiya, a professional violinist based in Los Angeles, chose to save them.

For the last ten years, Matsumiya has collected over 1,000 obscene communications she's received in a folder called "creepiness." Now she's sharing them all with the world, on a tongue-in-cheek Instagram account aptly named @perv_magnet.

According to Buzzfeed, Matsumiya gained a following after she started blogging about her band performances in 2003. Since then, she's received a seemingly endless torrent of sexually aggressive messages on Facebook, MySpace, OkCupid and other social networking sites.

The public product of this attention is part modern art piece, part depressing reflection of what Internet users will say behind the safety of a screen.
