The Private Jet Experience, a traveling project that launched in Los Angeles, is a replica of the interior of a Gulfstream G3 jet, built solely for the purpose of a cool Instagram snap. The set was created by 33-year-old LA-based artist and entrepreneur Matty Mo, aka The Most Famous Artist, and his new company SelfieCircus. Originally stationed inside the Fred Segal store on LA’s Sunset Boulevard, the installation is a perfect way for people to fool Instagram followers into thinking they’ve chartered a private jet. People flocked to the installation to pose on the faux leather seat with a glass of bubbly in hand. Complete with plush carpeting and round plane windows, the fake private jet is simply a set with two chairs, but is a much cheaper experience than actually chartering a private jet, which could cost upwards of $1,100 per hour. The Private Jet Experience might not be equipped for air travel, but the project is set to tour the country to allow everyone the chance at an awesome Instagram photo. The installation just ended its tenure at Fred Segal and is en route to Art Basel in Miami, where it will stay until December 6. Beginning in January, the faux private jet will travel to 30 locations across the U.S. throughout 2019, including Atlanta, New York and Austin. With the Private Jet Experience, social media users have to ask themselves, in the world of Instagram, does it matter if you actually do something cool or if you take a picture that makes it look like you did something cool? The artist has a repertoire of installations and artworks that challenge how we see social media and opens our eyes to the impact of social media and technology on society. ‘The Private Jet Experience was created because we wanted to be able to take pictures on a private jet like all of the celebrities we see online. 'Most people cannot afford a real jet, so we made one that democratizes access to a backdrop previously reserved for the rich and famous,’ Mo said in a statement. Earlier this week, Kim Kardashian posted a video touring the private Boeing 747 jet she and Kanye West chartered, which left fans outraged. The plane had multiple bedrooms and could accommodate up to 660 seats, but was not filled nearly to capacity. Fans took to Twitter to complain about the waste and environmental impact of using such a large plane for a small group of people. The fake Private Jet Experience works to take away the glitz and glamour from the celebrity private jet posts like Kardashians because it allows everyone to share a chartered plane experience on their social media. ‘We are purposefully commoditising [sic] a symbol of excess, ultimately nullifying the status boost people receive from posting photos on real private planes, thereby forcing everyone to be more creative and seek out the next great symbol of influence,’ Mo said of his private jet installation. The artist's previous works have spiked a huge social media interest as well. In 2016, Mo sold artworks made from stacks of cash with undisclosed values to make a statement about value within art. The stunt earned him a large social media following.
