The Army's video shooting gallery is no game really. In real life the other side shoots back. What you are adding to this game, is something we did when we played soldiers as kids. We always staged elaborate death scenes, and writhed and wriggled around in the dirt for several minutes, and threw our last hand grenade. Then we spoke our last few words, we got up and played some more. So I consider this work additive to the Army's message, rather than running against it. The game seems more real is someone is really dying.
But as artists we are only here to fill the form, and make it complete.
