Really interesting idea, this reminds me of an exhibition at Rokeby about a year ago called WITH (http://withyou.co.uk/) where you hired someone to live out experiences for you – such as 'getting in a bar fight,' live out life as an animal,' etc. The end result was full documentation, in the name of the buyer, for the experience they had purchased and the Rokeby art exhibit. This seems like the next step in that idea, you not only get to have other people live out your desires but you can have someone else control you.

A lot of possibility for abuse and would be hard to enforce, but I can't find the site to see how they deal with that. Do you have a link to the original article or the beta site?
