guerilla communication

I've been doing a bit of research so I can understand more of the idea of what I can do with the project and stumbled upon a couple of groups I found interesting and would be useful to look for inspiration. With the idea of restricting the freedom, per say, I started looking at these groups, we all know about Banksy, the pseudo graffiti artist who vandals many walls in an attempt to have public awareness of politics, culture, and ethics.



Another group is monochrom - it is an international art-technology-philosophy group; one of their projects I found quite interesting is when they created a fake country named Soviet Unterzoegersdorf and wrote a history about it and afterwards creating a game which allowed many to direct the many questions monochrom had about representation and relevance of "history" and stories.

Subvertising refers to the practice of making spoofs or parodies of corporate and political advertisements in order to make a statement.
