At the first glance, I am shocked by using real gun and bullet as a means to create body art. The fearless of the artist and the huge amount of pain after the shot make me feel uneasy. In a normal point of view, art should be created by paint brush or camera, which give people joy and excitement. Even if we tend to portrait a man who is in great suffer, we are not producing sufferings.
However, in this video, the artist did this crazy art voluntarily. Obviously he knew the consequence of the shot, he may regard it as an art form but not a crime. Moreover, he recorded the whole process of creating this art, including the reasons behind it. Things would be different, if we take a second look.
He is a pioneer and dedicated artist.

Copyright is always a sensitive issue, especially when it comes to the digital world. Today, people have easy access to the internet and they can recreate their own version. In order to respect the original artist's work, we need a mature copyright system and self-conscientiousness of each individual users.
Then, here comes to the problem. First, not everyone are willing to pay if there is a free download version. Second, the money we pay for copyright is often ended up with institutions or speculators, but not the artists. Lastly, it is hard to define copyright in digital world.
There is no doubt that artist's work should be protected. However, if we are using and referring artist's work without commercial attention, I think it is also acceptable. Similarly to writing a essay, people do quote and references.
In China, artists are struggling with copyright issue and some of the young ones can hardly make a living. Under copyright developed system in the US, it is an issue about whether Taylor Swift would make an another million dollar's or not.
As long as the artist is paid as the amount they deserved, their work should be open to everyone. The problem is how to define “the amount". Vincent Van Vogh can't afford to live when he is alive, while his work worth a million now.
At present, we are fascinated about creating machines and tools. Art is something underrated, while art is the core of a culture and fundamental things that we should learn as a human being.
