The Yes Men:

Identity Correction
"Impersonating big-time criminals in order to publicly humiliate them. Targets are leaders and big corporations who put profits ahead of everything else."

"Last summer, we asked you to help us print 100,000 copies of a "specialedition" New York Times, to be published just after Obama's election and set eight months in the future (July 4, 2009). You responded with $15,000, and the paper made worldwide headlines - real ones: http://www.ng.ru/world/2008-11-13/100_nyt.html?mthree=1

(PDF) Encouraging Witting Participation and Performance in Digital Live Art | © Jennifer G. Sheridan, Nick Bryan-Kinns, Alice Bayliss, 2007 Published by the British Computer Society People and Computers XXI – HCI… but not as we know it: Proceedings of HCI 2007 Linden J. Ball, M. Angela Sasse, Corina Sas, Thomas C. Ormerod, Alan Dix, Peter Bagnall, and Tom McEwan (Editors) | "We describe a framework for characterizing people’s behavior with Digital Live Art. Our framework considers people’s wittingness, technical skill, and interpretive abilities in relation to the performance frame. Three key categories of behavior with respect to the performance frame are proposed: performing, participating, and spectating. We exemplify the use of our framework by characterizing people’s interaction with a DLA - iPoi. This DLA is based on the ancient Maori art form of poi and employs a wireless, peer-to-peer exertion interface. The design goal of iPoi is to draw people into the performance frame and support transitions from audience to participant and on to performer. We reflect on iPoi in a public performance and outline its key design features."
