When 23-year-old art student Almar Atlason announced that he would live-stream an entire week of himself confined naked in a glass box, he said it was part of a class project at the Iceland Academy of the Arts.

Now that he's been caught masturbating on YouTube, he might consider a more hands on major, perhaps an independent study.

The Iceland Monitor reported that on day six of the project Atlason got a little too excited and began pleasuring himself.

WARNING: THIS GUY IS NAKED. IN A BOX.

The Monitor reports YouTube stopped the stream, raising the possibility that he had violated the company's terms of service.

However, Altason's wife, Salka Valsdóttir, told The Huffington Post via Facebook that the stream was merely interrupted briefly because of a technological issue.  

"I think it was only down for a couple of minutes. It was not because of the content, just bad Internet connection but a very funny coincidence," she said.

A Monitor reporter confirmed to HuffPost that video of the masturbation incident was posted to YouTube, but was subsequently flagged and taken down.

The Monitor reports that the school has received death threats against Atlason, and a group of people attempted to break into the school to confront him over the project. The site also reports that he vomited inside the box, prompting online followers to wonder about his health.

Dozens of people are documenting his every move on Twitter, tweeting with the hashtag #nakinníkassa, which is Icelandic for "naked in a box."
