“The Iranian regime has developed, with the assistance of European telecommunications companies, one of the world’s most sophisticated mechanisms for controlling and censoring the Internet, allowing it to examine the content of individual online communications on a massive scale.”

Shoot an Iraqi - The Art of Wafaa Bilal

by jack_trial on April 22, 2009 at 3:29 pm

Wafaa Bilal is an Iraqi multimedia artist who achieved global fame with his work, “Domestic Tension,” during which he lived for a month inside a cage with a remote-controlled paintball gun that visitors from the internet could control to shoot - or not shoot at the artist. While some visitors used the gun to actively pursue and shoot at Bilal, others took turns to “hijack” the system so that the artist could get sleep, rest, etc. In my opinion, it is one of the greatest artistic comments on the recent spate of conflicts in the Middle East. This, however, is not Bilal’s only work. Make sure you visit the artist’s web site for a comprehensive tour of his work, including complete recreations of the houses and rooms destroyed by war in Iraq. Make sure you look at the latest issue of COLORS magazine to see more of Wafaa’s work.
