paintball online

[Dracula53]

I just got done watching some CNN in Study hall, and found out about somehting that I figured would be some odd paintball news. An artist named Wafaa Bilal is allowing himself to be shot via online marker.
"He attempts to keep in mind the relationship of the viewer to the artwork, with one of his main objectives transforming the normally passive experience of viewing art into an active participation. In DOMESTIC TENSION, viewers can log on the internet to contact, or SHOOT, Bilal with paintball guns. Bilal’s objective is to raise awareness of virtual war and privacy, or lack thereof, in the digital age. During the course of the exhibition, Bilal will confine himself to the gallery space. During the installation, people will have 24-hour virtual access to the space via the Internet. They will have the ability to watch Bilal and interact with him through a live web-cam and chat room. Should they choose to do so, viewers will also have the option to shoot Bilal with a paintball gun, transforming the virtual experience into a very physical one"

Um, I don't understand much in the art world, but he needs a mask on...

Talk about a "live feed", that's insane. Hope he knows what he has just opened himself to.

I'd hate to be him.
