The performance continued ideas of the artist, identity and being from the works Between Saying and Doing and On Exactitude of Similitude. The artist, wearing his now usual sandwich board, generated two hundred visually identical sandwich boards for participants to wear while all but taking control of the chat window to focus discussion on topics including identity, location, representation, original and copy, ‘reality’ and fiction. The performance lasted approximately 23 minutes and the remaining sandwich boards were left for the duration of the event at Odyssey for visitors to take.
Eighteen people participated in the performance in total including Fau Ferdinand, Dancoyote Antonelli, Simotron Aquila, DanCoyote Alchemi, Juliet Claridge, Hinnerk Allen, Chantal Harvey, teixeira1976 Congrejo, Mab MacMoragh, Sun Lisle, Pei Twang, ush Underwood, Nicola Reinerman, Marmaduke Arado, Alexandra Xubersnak, LuciferSatan Genira and Deede Monday. When each participant wore a sandwich board it changed to state “I’m not Garrett Lynch (IRL)” and they sent me an email in ‘real’ life to log their identity and location in the following format:
