Let me see if I got this right: you are planning to expose yourself to the utmost degree of vulnerability and give all possible tools to anyone who may want to ruin your life, all as part of an art project.
I hope you have already thought of a way to explain how this isn’t the most flabbergastingly stupid idea ever.
Probably nothing in particular will happen to you if you do that. But it is also probable that nothing will happen to you if you never wear a seat belt. But in both cases there are very bad potential consequences, even if they have a probability of less than 50%.
There are literally millions of cases of personal information being published online in places where people could access it and steal it (if they were smart enough). Basically, you are just lowering the intelligence bar for identity theft—or perhaps more accurately, the entry cost.
Why shouldn’t I just publish all my identity documents on Facebook?
My immediate thought is: ‘identity theft!’ and ‘that’s illegal’.
But now that I’m trying to evaluate the evidence for the first and the second, it’s hard to find any hard indications of either .
Are there records of anyone publishing all their identity documents online?
Are there any stories attached to these, or accounts of the consequences?
What for?
Proof of concept, conceptual/experimental art?

Identity theft does happen in the real world. There no reason to be make easier for other people.
