Continuing our coverage of the seventh anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, we bring you artist Wafaa Bilal. This Iraqi-American, who has lost family members in the conflict, garnered headlines around the world in 2007 when he lived in a gallery for 30 days with a webcam and a Web-controlled paintball gun: anyone around the world could try and shoot an Iraqi with a yellow paintball--and over 65,000 paintballs, from over 130 countries, were shot his way.

GRITtv's Sam Alcoff visited Wafaa Bilal as he performed his new piece "...and Counting." A special thanks to Sophie Gore Browne and Jason Abbruzzese for their help with this report.
