After months of playing the visceral action game Quake III Arena (Q3A) with others online, Feng Mengbo used the games ability to create custom game characters, to develop his own version for his performance piece (called Q4U). In it, he inserts his likeness into the game, equipped with a mini DV camcorder in one hand and a weapon in the other. Visitors both at the Documenta 11 as well as at their computers at home are invited to play, though they are never clear as to if they're playing against the artist or other participants.
Feng Mengbo used the video game Quake very often for several projects. Read moe about Q4U an dhis other projects on his official homepage.
