The Santa Fe Art Institute is pleased to present the world famous culture jammers, “Identity Correction” practitioners, and civil disobedients, The Yes Men to give a performance/talk about their work and to screen their 2009 film, The Yes Men Fix the World. Join us in celebrating the SFAI’s 25th Anniversary with these amazing disturbers of complacency.
The Yes Men say of themselves:
The Yes Men are a genderless, loose-knit association of some 300 impostors worldwide who agree their way into the fortified compounds of commerce, ask questions, and then smuggle out the stories of their hijinks to provide a public glimpse at the behind-the-scenes world of business. In other words, the Yes Men are team players… but they play for the opposing team.
Wikipedia says of The Yes Men:
The Yes Men are a group of culture jamming activists who practice what they call “identity correction” by pretending to be powerful people and spokespersons for prominent organizations. From their offices in Milwaukee, they create and maintain fake websites similar to ones they want to spoof, and then they accept invitations received on their websites to appear at conferences, symposia, and TV shows. They express the idea that corporations and governmental organizations often act in dehumanizing ways toward the public.
