“America's Finest” by Lynn Hershman received a Honorary Mention in the Interactive Art category of the Prix Ars Electronica 1995. Explore 2 other works by Lynn Hershman below.
I call it "America's Finest" because it is the weapon that was used in Korea, Vietnam and the Gulf War. It is the gun that was aimed at America's Finest to protect them, and through which they dedicated their lives. The way this project works is that the user/participant aims the rifle at anything in the room.
