Usually you catch more bees with honey, but that’s not the tactic one San Francisco performance artist is taking with her new project.

“If you own or plan to purchase a 18k gold apple watch, you are rich and evil,” she writes on her site Qinmin Liu, which even has a Google form. “We are offering you one way out: donate to us. After all, why on earth you need a watch.”

She also wants Bill Gates to donate a watch to her cause: “He hates Apple watch more than anyone since Microsoft can never make one.”

Liu is seeking 50 of the $10,000-plus watches, and so far she’s had pledges of a few. According to Mashable, she’s received word that she’ll get “16 from the U.S., 8 from China, 1 from South Korea, 1 from North Korea and 1 from India.”

From her website bio, she writes that “Unrestricted creating styles are my tools to describe our daily lives and explain modern society’s unspeakable problems. It is my responsibility to vocalize in art people’s voices and concerns through my works. Making art becomes a process of questioning social issues and answering them at the same time.”

What will the final project look like? There are no clues, but we’re sure it will be interesting to say the least.

Here’s a video of her work below:
