During the original experiment subjects were asked to give seemingly real electric shocks to another individual. The experiment was designed to test the limit to which subjects were prepared to follow the orders of a scientist. It aimed to establish to what degree an individual would be prepared to hurt a fellow human because they were ordered to do so. In the original experiment the three protagonists were the Learner, the Teacher and the Scientist. The Learner and the scientist were actors and the Teacher was an unwitting subject who had answered an advertisement calling for participants for a learning experiment in a study of memory. The Milgram re-enactment was initiated by artist Rod Dickinson. It took place at the Centre for Contemporary Art, Glasgow on February 15th and 17th 2002. The re-enactment followed the same procedure as the original experiment in every respect, and the laboratory and the machinery were identical to the equipment used in the Yale experiment. However, there were several significant differences. For the re-enactment, the Learner, the Teacher and the Scientist were all actors and no one was fooled into thinking that they were administering real electric shocks.The re-enactment took place in front of an audience who viewed the event from behind the surveillance windows of the laboratory installation. The book and the film of The Milgram re-enactment were made as part of a research project by Steve Rushton in the Theory Department at the Jan van Eyck Academie. The three essays contained in the book ask a series of questions about the re-enactment and the original experiment: Vivienne Gaskin asks: What kind of transformation takes place when a laboratory is blown through time and space and deposited in a gallery? Tom McCarthy asks: To what degree does the re-enactment relate to the classic form of tragic drama? Steve Rushton asks: To what degree is Milgram's claim that the results of the experiment are an illustration of Hannah Arndt's phrase ‘the banality of evil’ valid? Sacha Davison and Ben Lund have made a photo essay of the re-enactment which includes sections of the transcripts of the dialogue between the Teacher, the Learner and the Experimenter.
