Two Berlin art students have put the life of a lamb in the hands of the internet. At least that’s what their art statement says.
Iman Rezai and Rouven Materne, students at the Berlin University of the Arts, have created a site where users can vote on whether a lamb will live or die.
But will they really kill it if the votes tilt to yes?
A spokesperson for the university told Reuters that the art piece is all about “provocation” and that the artists have no plans to actually kill the lamb.
Rezai and Materne have assembled a brightly coloured guillotine and posted a video of its construction on YouTube.
In the video Materne says, “There were people who wanted to forbid us to do this. There were people who celebrated the idea from day one. And there were some people who were afraid of us.”
So far “No” is leading the poll with almost 600,000 votes.
