The Yes Men fix Canada
May 11, 2011
This illustrated presentation by Yes Man Andy Bichlbaum will explore the tactical strategies behind some of the Yes Men's greatest triumphs: from their legendary 'identity corrections' of Dow, Enbridge, HUD, Exxon, and WTO, to their brilliant punking of Environment Minister Jim Prentice in Copenhagen, to their recent hijinks during this month's federal election.
The Yes Men are a fearless (genderless) collective of digital artists and activists, determined to culturejam the global forces of environmental evil. Brilliantly blending hilarity, surrealism and outrage, their hoaxes, pranks and 'tactical media interventions' have resulted in international headlines, award winning exhibitions and features (including The Yes Men Fix the World, Audience Award at Berlin International Film Festival 2009) and genuine social change.
