During last month’s *#TheSocialGraph* exhibition, Hill dressed as a panda and lived in a crate in the gallery. He named the character, “[Punch Me Panda](http://natehillisnuts.com/home/punch-me-panda/?ref=hyperallergic.com).” For a penny you could either punch him in the gallery or invite him to your home in Brooklyn via tweet (@natexhill). He also roamed the streets trying to relieve people’s frustration and anger while he was dressed up in his persona. This conversation with artist happened late last month and reflects on his performance and what it is all about.
