“me.” was a project first posted as a question as my status update on the social networking site Facebook on March 13th, 2013. The question I asked was “Who wants to sleep with me?” I then quickly commented with “This is a limited time offer. The first 11 people who respond here can sleep with me for free. Send me your address and I'll make it happen within a month! After the first 11 people who respond, the next 11 can sleep with me for $22.00. Then the next 11 can sleep with me for $55.00. And finally, the last 11 people can sleep with me for $111.00. This will only happen a total of 44 times. This proposition is for women and men! For people who are single or not single! Payment must be sent in advance via paypal or check. So, I ask again, who wants to sleep with me?” (NOTE: Facebook initially deleted my post days later without notifying me and then placed it back).
What followed were various comments by people I was connected with. The first eleven people to respond and send me their address, indicating they wanted a to sleep with me, got this limited edition art work in the mail. For free. The first eleven people had no idea what “sleeping with me” meant and where therefore ‘rewarded’ for their courage with a unique art work.
