Here I discuss Matt Adams & Blast Theory's controversial performance work Kidnap, in which spectators paid £10 to enter a lottery in the hope of being kidnapped: a classic exposé on the participatory act of giving up control. Matt is a keynote for the upcoming Art of the Networked Practice Online Symposium. This blog feature was based on essays by Maria Chatzichristodoulou and Steve Dixon, both participating in the Symposium.
