M.River and I were talking a while back about updating Chris Burden’s seminal Shoot performance from 1971. MTAA have done a few updates of artist’s work in the past.

This is the idea:

We make a credit card public. All the information one would need to steal the credit card and use it would be made publicly available on the web.

It’s fairly easy to see the irony in updating Shoot in this way. I think it’s a good idea for a project but we’re afraid that this information would lead to someone stealing our identities all together. (Which I guess is an update to being shot in the chest instead of the arm). permanent link to this post
