Hi All!
Here are some of the links I showed in class. I'm also including a couple I didn't show which deal with Detournment and subversive cartography... contemporary movements which may have been inspired from the Situationists/Guy Debord. These are also classified as Psychogeography. Basically these movements fit into Culture Jamming because they are questioning authority, authenticity and herd mentality regarding how we respond to our surroundings. Can we rely on a map to define our experience of a place? Why not create our own maps, our own realities based on personal experiences, our imagination and a hyper attention to our surroundings?
On the "Institute for Infinitely Small Things" website (the collective which publicly performs corporate commands), check out their projects, including the "unmarked package" video. This is a performance where the artists marched around Chicago with a pile of mysterious, unmarked packages and interviewed people on their views regarding fear and security. It's an interesting project.
