This chapter is about Marisa Carnesky's performance Penny Slot Somnambulist (2000–03). It was selected by Ron Athey and Vaginal Davis for their co-curation of the first UK Visions of Excess festival (2003). In this chapter, a comparison is made between Carnesky's performance and ORLAN's Le Baiser de L'Artiste (The Kiss of the Artist, 1977). Penny Slot Somnambulist binds the histories of fairground and performance art together to invite the audience to interact with the art.
Keywords: audience interaction ; contemporary art ; fairground ; feminist art ; festival performance ; fortune teller ; Jiva Parthipan ; Kira O'Reilly's ; Nicole Blackman ; ORLAN ; Pierre Spitzner ; Ron Athey ; slot machine ; Vaginal Davis ; voyeurism
