Months and months ago I mentioned I'd seen a video art installation by Bruce Naumann called Violent Incident, which shows a date descending into mutual violence. Well, someone has filmed a much smaller version of this installation:

(after 5.35)
It's pretty tiny and blurry here, but if you get a chance to see it, do, because when I saw it, the scene was playing on a bank of ten different screens at once; the woman is dressed in a short skirt and black nylons; and it looks pretty authentic. It took me completely by surprise when I saw it and I had to rush off to the gallery toilets to relieve myself in the nicest sense (after standing transfixed for 15 minutes or so:)).
His other stuff is pretty weird/scary.
