>Artist Statement |
My goal with this project is to create a plysical parody of the RPI Administration's reaction to Waffa Bilal's Virtual Jihadi. While I can understand the reaction and anger toward's his project, and even the necessity of a university worried for its reputation to shut it down, but do we really need an ethics comity to investigate proposed art events? I try to show the sudden scrutinizing attention that has been drawn to the art department in this installation.
