An interactive chat studio presented as a virtual museum of transgressive acts for sophisticated consumers of perversion: Customers who log on choose from a list of "galleries" showcasing a variety of live performances that breach social, political and sexual taboos, and relay commands to the performers to shape the acts according to their particular tastes... The scenes on stage are loosely based on the true story of an American male artist who traveled to Mexico in the 70s to rent the body of a dead women, have sex with her and document it as art. This moment in the history of performance is invoked to explore what it means to have to play dead in order to live. Coco Fusco, one of the most important performance artists of today, examines the masks of Western multiculturalism in her deconstructive parodies.
