Dead in Iraq
PERFORMANCE BY JOSEPH DELAPPE
8:00 - 10:00pm, Banff Centre, JPL 313
The Fourth of July marks the fifth anniversary of the release of
"America's Army", an online first-person-shooter game aimed at
recruiting new soldiers into the American Military. Joseph DeLappe
will continue his performance of "Dead in Iraq", assuming the role of
a character in the game environment with the name of a real American
soldier that has been killed. This character will not fight and is
consequently killed by the other players, thereby recording the name
of the dead soldier into the game's database.
