THE AMERICAN ROULETTE: CAN THE USA EVER RECORD A DAY WITHOUT GUN VIOLENCE?

[QSTNMRK]

Every day, on average, 327 Americans are shot, and 118 of them die from their injuries. There are more guns in America than there are Americans (1.2guns per person). Because of this, you are 26 times more likely to be shot in the U.S. than in any other high-income country.

 

Do you think the USA can have a full day without one shooting? 

Probably not, but let's play a game anyway...

 

QSTNMRK? Collective and Change The Ref launch: "The American Roulette"

 

The American Roulette is a data-driven art experiment highlighting the grim statistics of gun violence in the USA through a dystopian game where participants can win real cash.

The concept is chillingly simple: predict which of the 50 US states won't report any shooting for 24h. If you guess right, you win $5,000.

QSTNMRK? and Change the Ref challenge the USA to go 24 hours without any gun violence across all 50 states. If this happens during the experiment, one lucky American Roulette participant will win $1,000,000.

 

Using real and live data from  https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/, it's like a deadly lottery, with high stakes. And it's free to play. 

 

Game #2 closes on Sunday 22nd. September.
