Anton Vidokle’s was born in New York, and is Russian American. He wrote a paper called ” Art without Artists” which documents street art in America. Stickers have always fascinated me. When I was a child I had a collection of stickers that I would keep in a box, and I would never stick them anywhere because I was afraid of not every being able to find them. I wanted to be able to share an experience through my performance with stickers. Like Vidokle who wanted to document peoples reaction to the stickers he posted, I wanted to create a live performance of me wearing or using the stickers in everyday objects. I found that my roommates responses were questioning why there were stickers in places that should have been. To me this was so exciting because when you experience something physically and touch it, it changed your perception of the object.  I really enjoyed the this project because it changed how I viewed personal momentous, and that it is worth more to share an experience with others than have it by yourself.
