Gabrielle Moser has written an interesting post on some issues with community art projects that were brought to mind with Darren O'Donnell & Mammallian Diving Reflex's The Duel in The 'Dale: Parkdale Public School v. Queen West. She indicates that the humour behind using these kids in adult roles might have something sinister behind it.

I'd say that his humour in working/using kids isn't sinister. I know because mine is. I laugh when they fall over. Other than that I don't want to be around them most of the time. That may be why his work exerts a hold on me. I love the controlled anarchy that comes with the illusion of power swapping that he's created.

(Did I just make an argument for that position? I feel tricked.)
