Instructions for a performance artwork: 
1. In this performance art piece for video, I take a selfie with the 
camera on my computer and then I use the camera on my phone to 
take a selfie with the computer camera, and then I take a selfie 
with the computer camera and the phone camera, and so on. It's a 
loop of selfies.
2. Using VR technology, the performance artist will be able to 
simulate the feeling of drowning, a sensation that has been described 
by many of the refugees and migrants who have made the crossing to 
Europe. "We have this idea of the refugee crisis being about people, 
but the crisis is also about the water," said the artist, who will be 
filming the performance. "It's about the sea, the water, and how it's 
being used as a weapon. That's why I'm interested in the technology of 
the sea, in the technology of drowning. I'm interested in the idea that 
the sea is a body of water that is both a weapon and a place.
3. In this virtual reality performance art piece, the artist will be 
performing a virtual reality version of the classic dance piece 
"Rubber Band" by Steve Paxton. The piece will be performed in the 
virtual reality environment of the Oculus Rift, and will be streamed 
live on Twitch.tv. The performance will be recorded and uploaded to 
YouTube at a later date.
4. In the famous audiovisual performance art piece, "Happening," 
the artist, Allan Kaprow, stood in front of a large audience and, 
with a pair of scissors, cut a hole in a large piece of paper.

As he spoke, the audience watched him cut the hole.
5. In the famous performance art piece by Dooley Murphy, the artist 
covered himself in honey and rolled around in a field of flowers. 
The piece was called “Honey, I Shrunk The Artist.”
6. In Dooley Murphy's seminal performance artwork,
"The Great American Nude", Murphy assumes the role of an 
Irish-American artist who paints the nude bodies of his 
friends and neighbors. Murphy's performance is a parody of the 
life and work of Thomas Eakins. In the performance, Murphy is an 
artist who, in his own words, "can't paint a lick". He attempts to 
paint the nude body of his wife, but his technical ineptitude and his 
frustration with his own mediocrity lead him to paint over the canvas 
with a layer of white paint. Murphy's performance is a parody of Eakins' 
"The Gross Clinic" (1875–76).
7. Exploring the relationship between technology and the body, 
Dooley Murphy's latest performance art piece is called "Skin Machine." 
Dooley Murphy, "Skin Machine" (2014) The work, which debuted last 
month at the InterAccess Electronic Media Arts Centre in Toronto, 
involves Murphy donning a "cybernetic" suit that allows him to 
control a robotic arm with his brainwaves. The arm is attached to 
his body with a series of sensors and wires. The suit, created by 
Murphy and his colleague, computer scientist Brian Moore, was 
inspired by the work of pioneering cybernetics researcher Kevin 
Warwick, who had a computer chip implanted in his arm in 1998.
8. Exploring the relationship between technology and capitalism, 
Dooley Murphy's latest performance art piece, "The Uber-Selfie," 
explores the relationship between technology and capitalism, and the 
effects of that relationship on the self. "The Uber-selfie is a 
selfie that has been taken with a camera that has been driven by an 
Uber driver. It's a selfie that is mediated by technology and 
capitalism," Murphy said.
9. In Dooley Murphy's latest performance art piece about technology 
and ennui, the artist has created a "Tweeting Toaster" that will 
post your most recent Facebook status to Twitter. The toaster is 
outfitted with a camera that will snap a picture of you when you 
press a button. The image is then uploaded to the toaster's Facebook 
page, where it will be posted to Twitter. When you're done, you can 
keep the toaster as a souvenir or donate it to a museum. The toaster 
will be on display at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria until 
the end of the month.
10. A performance art piece for an academic turned artist: “A new 
form of performance art: the artist as academic.” The artists: “I’m 
an artist, and I’m a professor. But really, I’m an artist. And really, 
I’m just an artist. And I am a professor. But really … ” The audience: 
“Why do you keep insisting that you are a professor? Why are you making 
this so difficult for us? Why can’t we just enjoy your art without all 
this academic stuff getting in the way? Why do we have to think about 
it so much? Why can’t we just be entertained?” The artist: “I’m an 
artist, and I’m a professor. But really, I’m an artist. And really, 
I’m just an artist. And I am a professor. But really … ” This is the 
kind of thing that makes me want to kill myself.
11. In Dooley Murphy's latest performance art piece for film, he will 
be using the entirety of his body as a canvas to create a piece of 
performance art for film. He will be doing this by using paint, blood, 
and other mediums on his body. Dooley Murphy's use of performance art 
has been seen in various films that he has created before such as 
"The Great American Nightmare", "The Great American Nightmare 2", 
and "Dooley Murphy: The Movie".
12. Instructions for a performance art piece for camera: 
  1. Find a large, empty room with tall ceilings and lots of space. 
If you can’t find a large enough room, make one by removing the walls 
in your house. 
  2. Paint the walls white or black (or both) to make them appear 
to recede into the distance. You may want to use an oil-based paint 
so that it will last longer and be easier to clean up afterward. 
  3. Set up a camera on a tripod in the center of the room, facing 
the wall opposite from where you are standing when you begin filming 
yourself. This way, it will be easier for you to keep your back to 
the camera as you walk around the room. 
  4. Turn on the camera and begin walking in circles around the room, 
reciting a monologue about your life, your thoughts, or whatever 
comes to mind. The monologue should be delivered in an uninflected 
tone of voice so that it sounds like one long word that is never 
completed. It should not sound like you are speaking English, but 
rather like some language that is unfamiliar to us all. You may 
want to use a voice synthesizer or text-to-speech program if you 
are having trouble with this part of the performance.
13. In the shortest ever performance art piece, a man walks 
into a room and sits down. Then he gets up again. That’s it.
