Culture Jamming – Media Actionism In The 21st Century provides a two year research in european Culture Jamming, from its roots in the Dada Mouvement to Situationism and postmodern info-wars. The documentary features, among others, UBERMORGEN.COM, 0100101110101101.org, and Molleindustria‘s political games.

Above is an excerpt not featured in the movie, where Franco Mattes (0100101110101101.org) talks about the project United We Stand (2005 – 2006).

The live performance is part of the amazing project Torture Classics, a collaboration between Hans Bernhard and James Powderly.
