Culture Jammin’

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

According to Wikipedia, Culture jamming is an individualistic turning away from all forms of herd mentality – including that of social movements – and by that definition, culture jamming is generally not treated as a movement. Culture jamming is not defined by any specific political position or message, nor even by any specific cultural position or message. The common thread is mainly an urge to poke fun at the homogeneous nature of popular culture, often by means of guerrilla communication (communication unsanctioned or opposed by government or other powers-that-be).

The following example of Culture Jamming was posted earlier by Ged Carroll of Renaissance Chambara fame:

Brilliant! It’s the sort of thing which you may not even notice unless you take a few seconds to look at it properly but upon closer inspection, the poster (currently residing on a wall near Oxford street) makes a simple point about London transport’s Oyster card privacy concerns in a really effective way.

Here are some of my other fave examples of corporate culture jamming…

Let me know if you have any other cool examples…

In the meantime, CultureJamming the MOVIE is in production. you can watch the trailer here.
