Dead in Iraq
Dead in Iraq is a series of protest art. Joseph logs on to a game that is used to help/recruit for United States Army or Marines. Joseph posts the death of real men and women who have given their lives for the war effort. What's not known is if he is for the effort or against it. Is he trying to change young men and women's mind about joining or is he just showing respect.
I like the art itself very powerful. Players of the game have no idea if it is real or fake. Are the post actually the names of former living army personnel. I guess not knowing is the creepiest part about the whole thing. So kudos to Joseph Delappe for thinking of it.
