A 100 mile radius will be drawn in the heart of an American city. From within this radius three volunteers will be recruited, given a budget of $50,000 and the following instructions-

Each volunteer must, within a fortnight of their recruitment, select and hire a personal surrogate. This surrogate will be paid, trained, and scripted by the volunteer who hired them with the specific instruction that, by the end of the training period, the surrogate must be ready to fulfill and represent their director personally, professionally, aesthetically, and symbolically.

No further clarifications regarding the surrogates, the volunteers, and whit is expected of them during the course of the experiment will be given -- if such a request is made, the only response will be read from a fortune cookie purchased at a Chinese take-out restaurant found at the exact center of the 100 mile radius our volunteers live within.

This procedure will run for the course of two full years, being monitored throughout by "editors," who will make sure the parties involved are properly fulfilling their obligations. The only filmed documentation will be a series of interviews and staged re-enactments occurring directly after the procedure has run its course.
