Do you shoot?

I heard of this art project on the radio on the way home from work today. I will keep my own opinions and thoughts to myself unless specifically asked, but the point of the project is to open a narrative that relates to you. For the artist, who's family is in Iraq under real weapons everyday, it is a connection to his old world that he lost when he came to the U.S.

The idea is to beg the question: Do you shoot? Do you pull that trigger? If so, why? If you want a chance to shoot at an Iraqi man, here is your chance. Or, do you try to keep other users from firing at him? The choice is yours. The project is his.

Here is the link.


Also, while you are there. Check out his own opinions with his video blogs. You can also find them on YouTube.com.

  1. Yeah, I pulled the trigger, and I did it twice. Not because he is an Iraqi, mind you, I could care less about that, but because he is an artist.

  2. I'm confused...what's pulling the trigger doing? All the chat is in German.

  3. It fires a paint-ball gun, firing at 300fps.
