Yes...I terrorised the performance art festival.  I intended to kidnap the curator, but her boyfriend didn't let me, so I kidnapped the director of the cultural centre Bergen Kjøtt instead.  I ordered her to read my demands out loud:

 

In the name of live art I call upon all governments to seize their activities, for the good of humanity, quality for all, everlasting peace, yield to artists!

NO WAR, NO SUFFERING, NO PAIN

JUST HAPPINESS AND JAUNTINESS!

 

Additional demands:

• a bigger grant than other artists,

• a bottle of Hennessy,

• sex with all volunteers of this festival.

 

I will torture myself for the next 4 minutes.

If my demands are not met on time I will blow myself up!

 

...so I did.
