Wafaa Bilal's "Virtual Jihadi" finds a home
Last week RPI closed the exhibit of artist-in-residence Wafaa Bilal's "Virtual Jihadi," a video game mod that casts Bilal as a suicide bomber out to kill President Bush. Now the Sanctuary for Independent Media in Troy has taken in the work and will exhibit the installation a various times throughout the next month.
The first chance to see "Virtual Jihadi" there will be tonight. Bilal will be there for a reception at 6 pm, followed by a showing at 7. Admission is a suggested $10 donation.
There also seems to be a protest against Bilal's work planned for tonight outside the gallery.

It seems it might be a little bit tricky getting there because the street names change at one point, so you might want to take a look at the org's directions.
