Domestic Tension was one of a number of efforts by Bilal to highlight the violence and racism of US culture after 9/11, and to raise awareness about the suffering that Iraqis have faced for years.

Wafaa Bilal confined himself to a gallery space. He broadcasted over the internet 24/7, inviting viewers to watch and chat with him at all hours. The audience was also given the option of shooting Bilal with a robotically controlled paintball gun.
