Now let's use the same technology for art. Alva Bernadine's  Slap

Which do you prefer? 

"A friend phoned me one lunchtime and asked what I was up to. I told her I was taking portraits of people bursting balloons, shooting bottles and smashing panes of glass using a sound activated switch. I could freeze the moment of impact rather like the famous Harold Edgerton picture of a bullet passing through an apple. In a dark room you attach the switch to the flash then open the shutter of the camera. The sound of impact fires the flash freezing the action at several thousandths of a second.
"She was a submissive and immediately offered her bottom for experimentation. She already had a video of arses wobbling in slow motion. She and her partner came round with a bag full of flagellation implements and we tried them all.
"Subsequently, I decided I wanted to try it on a variety of different shaped arses and asked female acquaintances and women I met at parties to aid me in my objective scientific experiments by having there arse spanked. To my surprise 50% agreed." — Alva Bernadine
