Are many of you familiar with the notion of culture jamming? It has the same basic set up as glamour bombing, but can be a little more political and less magical in nature.
I'm using both culutre jamming and glamour bombing as inspiration for a project for art uni this fortnight, ans so far have come up with a handful of ideas I'm dying to try, some of these being chalk outlines, wether that's the outline of a body someplace you wouldn't find one - on the side of a building for example, or using chalk to make simple things seem significant, like drawing an outline around a 'dropped' pound coin and noting if anyone picks it up or not, due to the outline.
I've also been thinking of sticking little contradicting stickers or signs around the town centre, for example sticking a sign saying 'this is not a bin' on a bin, and watching wether people still use it or not.
I'm going to be filming my results, so guerilla style film making is something I have to get used to. The results won't be shown outside my university, so I don't think I have to worry about permission from people I capture on video, just as long as they don't notice I'm filmiing!
So, fellow glamourbombers, I ask you for inspiration, ideas that have worked for you in the past, hints, tips, tricks, links.
I'm a little intimidated to interact with the public, and I don't have a big group of people to work with me, so acts that I could set up and just film, or film responses, would be ideal.
Thank you so much in advance for any inspiration or help you can give!
