The Yes Men Fix the World

A documentary about a pair of culture jammers called The Yes Men, who set up fake websites and falsely represent corporations and government bodies at conventions and in the media and take responsibilities for said entities past and current evils that they wont own up to themselves.

The movie was sued by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and was thus rereleased with afterfootage explaining the legal action, on Vodo(legal creative commons torrent releases) in 2010.

Brilliant stuff.

Let's start off with, really, the point of the time we're living in. To transcend what we are and to guide our own evolution into the future.

Turning into Gods.





Ok, so imagine this; everyone has their own infocloud, killing the need to log in to facebook and twitter and flickr and everything else individually just to keep in touch with people. You just access somebodys datacloud and browse it all at once in real time.

"Utopian and radical architects in the 1960s predicted that cities in the future would not only be made of brick and mortar, but also defined by bits and flows of information. The urban dweller would become a nomad who inhabits a space in constant flux, mutating in real time. Their vision has taken on new meaning in an age when information networks rule over many of the city's functions, and define our experiences as much as the physical infrastructures, while mobile technologies transform our sense of time and of space."
