Me? I asked them to share a really good cheeseburger. I’m admittedly unsure what all the images on their site are, but they are fascinatingly odd juxtapositions of the everyday along with notions of terror. I guess others’ orders were far more interesting than mine…. If you’re a citizen, please go ahead and outdo me.

Acting on orders is part of the Emergence: Creative pioneers in uncharted territory show at ‘Commanders House’ (Building 14) on Governors Island, NYC. Other friends of implicit art on the exhibition include Avant Car Guard and Chris Jordan, and I’m sure the longer list of artists contains several other people I’d probably like to be friends with.
More info here. Check it out if in town.
update: apparently, “Act 020 has been produced in response to [my] command.” Ahem:
Act 020, c. 2008, De Wet | Gimberg | Nerf
It does look a bit like it could be a wrapped up cheeseburger, no?… So I guess it’s the artists and not the commanders who are more interesting than me.
