The Value Menu
Practitioner:
Justin Quinn
Date:
Jun 1 2015
This is continued exploration of some work I recently had published for a culture jam project in response to the documentary "The Corporation". There are a lot of layers working here. There are thoughts about food deserts, how multinational corporations prey upon them, and finally how particular images regarding development are used to sell the idea of what hunger should look like.

Not long afterward, in Berlin, the Yes Men learned they also work as disruptive, arrest-resistant tools.

Party #CierraBankia (Shut down Bankia)
Practitioner:
Enmedio
Date:
Jun 4 2012
First cut the banks! In 2012 Bankia declared itself bankrupt and, almost immediately, asked the Government of Spain for €23 billion. The Government accepted, yet that very same week ordered €20,000 million worth of cuts in health and education. It was then that we realized that what they called a crisis was actually a scam. You wouldn’t believe how pissed off we were. So we threw a party, because there is nothing like partying to relieve your anger.
