art sabotage

The self-historicizing post-neo-avant-garde of Neoism, the pleasurably
subversive actions of the communication guerilla, to hoaxes, fakes and
identity games in the zones between the real and the virtual belong to a
broad field of artistic-political praxes that has emerged over the last 10
years. Under the paradigms of the control society and immaterial labor these
new strategies of disrupting the circuits of power are especially directed
against the incessant flows of communication as central linchpin of current
power structures.
art sabotage debates methods and examples of this contemporary type of
sabotage: subversive over-affirmation and over-identification, purloining,
alienation and image tarnishing, collective myths, multiple names and open
pop stars.

With texts by autonome a.f.r.i.k.a. gruppe, Brian Holmes, Ralf Homann,
Oliver Marchart, The Yes Men and Wanda Wieczorek.
