Fake Bombs Art Project

Likely following his “It’s Not a Real Hijacking!” piece, a student in Ontario was arrested for his ‘fake bomb’ art project at a school fund raiser. Best line: “The dinner was canceled, the Toronto police bomb squad arrived in force, along with its robot…” Via Art Info.

Talk about going out with a bang. It’s interesting to think about what he was possibly trying to say with this project. I must admit I’m at a slight loss for getting it, but I’d imagine that there was purpose in his action. Perhaps it was just to depict the power of media, though the package was label “not a bomb” and the video was labeled “fake bombing.” Perhaps the young man was making a statement about the power of images - labeling his work did not prevent him from getting into trouble because he chose such explosive imagery (no pun intended), that it overshadowed any other component to piece, such as possible intent.
