In the controversial art exhibit “How To Blow Yourself Up” being put on by WK Interact, the design company plays off of societies fears of imminent death in 2012.
The “How To Blow Yourself Up” exhibit asks the question, “If you believe the world will end in 2012 and you can’t do anything about it, maybe it’s better to blow yourself up when you feel like it.”
The artist has literally turned everyday items such as bicycles and skateboards and turned them into explosive devices.
