Historia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Igor Vamos, born April 15, 1968, is an internationally known multimedia artist, leading member of The Yes Men (using the alias Mike Bonanno), and an associate professor of media arts at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.[1] He is also a co-founder of RTmark and the recipient of a 2003 Guggenheim Fellowship, granted for a project that used Global Positioning System (GPS) and other wireless technology to create a new medium with which to "view" his documentary Grounded, about an abandoned military base in Wendover, Utah.
Vamos earned an undergraduate degree in Studio Art from Reed College and an MFA in Visual Arts from the University of California, San Diego. While at Reed, Vamos organized a student group called Guerrilla Theater of the Absurd. They performed and documented "culture jamming" acts of protest, including Reverse Peristalsis Painters, where 24 people in suits stood outside the downtown venue of Dan Quayle's fundraiser for Oregon senator Bob Packwood and drank ipecac, forcing themselves to vomit the red, white and blue remains of the mashed potatoes and food coloring they had consumed earlier; and a middle of the night contribution to the debate over re-naming Portland's Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, wherein the city awoke to find that all of the street signs and freeway exits for another major boulevard had been changed to read "Malcolm X Street."
Another successful early project was the "Barbie Liberation Organization," where Vamos and his cohorts purchased three hundred Barbie and G.I. Joe dolls, exchanged their electronic voice boxes, and then returned them to the stores; the soldiers ended up saying things like "Let's go shopping!", while the Barbies exclaimed "Vengeance is mine!". It was a small-scale project and few people actually found themselves in possession of the switched dolls, but the stunt nevertheless attracted national media attention.

Durante los últimos veinte años, los famosos activistas Yes Men (Mike Bonanno y Andy Bichlbaum) han montado bromas escandalosas para secuestrar el diálogo público internacional sobre los asuntos del día. En su tercer viaje cinematográfico, ahora ya están bien entrados en la cuarentena, y su crisis de los cuarenta está amenazando con sacarlos del activismo para siempre, incluso mientras se preparan para aceptar el mayor reto, el cambio climático. Frustrados y preocupados por no poder marcar la diferencia nunca más. Tras seguir sus vidas durante más de cuatro años, The Yes Men Are Revolting revela su proceso creativo, sus hilarantes métodos y sus conflictos personales mientras hacen malabares con las exigencias de hacerse viejo, de mantener un trabajo y de tener un poco de vida personal.
Un proyecto documental y de medios cruzados sobre la creatividad de la resistencia no violenta y las formas modernas de desobediencia civil.

The Antics Roadshow is a celebration of the pranksters, hoaxers, jokers, activists and stunt merchants who use public space for their own unauthorised ends. This film brings together a wide range of individuals with all sorts of motivations, who have all hijacked the public arena to make a noise, be it for comedic, artistic or political ends, and have all done so using a variety of illicit and eccentric methods, which the audience should probably not try at home.
Screenplay
Es la última tendencia de los documentales activistas. Dos hombres se hacen pasar por altos ejecutivos y engañan a medio mundo anunciando las noticias que todos quisieran escuchar. Aunque el engaño dura poco, dicen que vale la pena.
