artist's description:

I acted as a 17 year-old Nigerian girl who recently got the chance to experience space travel with a zero-gravity flight. This was her first time traveling to America, and she was very excited. I chose to do this project because I am also from Nigeria, and thought it would be interesting to see what people had to say. 

I created a MySpace profile, and asked people to tell me what I should expect from America. I got a variety of responses from several different people, and at the end of it all, managed to make about 24 friends on MySpace. It was interesting to see that people are willing to make friends with people they don’t know, and actually try to help her out.
