GETTING GOT
Interactive Art Projects by Zachar Laskewicz
I believe that art is the process that involves YOUR creativity as much as mine. The moment you choose to interact with my art, to post a comment or to tell me that it made you think about things differently, this is very much a part of the creative act that makes art meaningful. Looking at only the end products of art is like looking at a book cover and thinking you’ve understood the contents of it. Getting you to participate in my art – allowing you to be creative and me to see you interacting with what I do or in some way being creative with me, is my ultimate goal.
I have a lot of projects I absolutely want YOU to become a part of...
And it all starts with you getting a GOT-O-GRAM...

You can also participate in interactive artistic projects I'm currently in the process of making. These are projects that you can participate in just by sharing your art with me. There are currently two in action: GOT-O-GRAMS & IDOL GOSSIP.
Anyone can participate. I will include more information on posts below. Let me say here that you don't actually have to be an active creative artist to participate; you just have to interact with me in some way and let me involve you in crazy innuendo and lies that I make up about you...
GOT-O-GRAMS involve me sending to you small examples of my art in an envelope I fold and stick together specifically for this purpose. All you have to do is to send me a photo of you or a film while you are opening the envelope. I will then repond to this by involving you ine ludicrous fiction of terrible fate that the people who receive GOT-O-GRAMs are doomed to undergo...
In this spirit of joy and communication that I celebrate by spreading hideous lies... You'll get mercilessly tagged and have GIFs created about you that implicate you in a web of lies. This is the nature of IDOL GOSSIP. It's about me spreading rumours about people I idolize. It questions social media, the difference between gossip and trolling and the way gossip tends to reveal more about the gossiper and the person being gossiped about.
