Remote Control Roller Skates
British artist Dash MacDonald recently performed “In Your Hands, ” in which audeince members control a pair of roller skates strapped to the artist’s feet. The piece is inspired by the Stanford Prison and Milgram experiments (which have been coming up an awful lot lately), which were designed to see how abusive people would be to one another when given the authority to do so. (The answer—even more than you’d guess.) But just how cruel can you be to a hapless guy on a pair of roller skates? (Probably even more than you’d guess.)
