Description: In ReDO IT, I represented the collapse of traditional art production and distribution methods by performing on audience command via Twitter and webcam, directly from my studio and into the exhibition space. Locating the artist/audience interaction in virtual space allowed the audience to voluntarily transgress the “fourth wall,” and assume a role in breaking down the traditional alienation of artistic authority. The activities of production, as well as the course of the performance, were shifted to the audience, thereby reconsidering the concept of authorship in Hans Ulrich Obrist’s "Do It." Production and consumption became a single experience, and the role of the artist as service provider to the demands of the market was exposed.
