The project dead-in-iraq is an online memorial and protest taking place within the US Army recruiting game, "America's Army". I enter the game as "dead-in-iraq" in order to manually type the name, age, service branch, date of death of each service person who has died to date in Iraq using the game's text message. The work is essentially a fleeting, online memorial to those military personnel who have been killed in this ongoing conflict. My actions are also intended as a cautionary gesture.
