For No Fun I simulated committing suicide in a public webcam-based chat room. Thousands of random people, unwillingly recorded, watched while I was hanging from the ceiling, swinging slowly, for hours. The video documentation of the performance is an unpredictable, at times disturbing, sequence of reactions: some laugh, some are completely unmoved, some insult the supposed corpse, some take pictures with their mobiles.
