Oleg Mavromatti is currently collecting votes on his website that decide whether or not he will be electrocuted. Oleg Mavromatti has strapped himself to an [electric chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edgeofyr) and will [live-stream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fraimic) all of his shocks. Every 100 votes gives the artist one shock. The artist gives a seemingly reasonable explanation for why he is leaving his health and possibly even his life in the hands of the Internet in the attached video. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Live Streaming Performance Art:** Opportunities for artists to engage with global audiences in real-time through technology-assisted performance art experiments. - **Interactive Audience Participation:** Increased demand for engaging and interactive art experiences that blur the line between artist and audience, facilitated by technology. - **Extreme Endurance Art:** Growing interest in unconventional forms of art that challenge the limits of human endurance and create a sense of danger or risk through the use of extreme physical sensations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Technology and Entertainment:** Innovative integration of technology into live performances, creating immersive audience experiences and new revenue streams for entertainers. - **Art and Culture:** Opportunities for unconventional, boundary-pushing artist-entrepreneurs to create unique art vehicles that leverage social media, live performance, and public participation. - **Health and Fitness:** The use of extreme physical sensations in art performances serves as a potential platform for promoting physical fitness and health, particularly through mobile or wearable technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Digital Audio-Visual Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audiovisual-exhibition.md) - [AI Artist Insights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stream-of-consciousness.md) - [Distorted Furniture Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-kiss-at-last-light.md) - [Explosion-Damaged Sculpture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness.md) - [Striking Wearable Sculpture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-sculpture-1.md) - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md) - [Evolving Hybrid Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-one.md) - [Performance Art Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bio-pop.md)
