Drifting

One of the basic situationist practices is the dérive or drifting, a technique of rapid passage through varied ambiences. Dérives involve playful-constructive behavior and awareness of psychogeographical effects, and are thus quite different from the classic notions of journey or stroll.

In a dérive one or more persons during a certain period drop their relations, their work and leisure activities, and all their other usual motives for movement and action, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there.

Chance is a less important factor in this activity than one might think: from a dérive point of view cities have psychogeographical contours, with constant currents, fixed points and vortexes that strongly discourage entry into or exit from certain zones.

Détournement

Détournement or as we call it today Culture Jamming is a technique adapted by the Situationists International in the 1950s and was defined as "the integration of present or past artistic productions into a superior construction of a milieu. In this sense there can be no situationist painting or music, but only a situationist use of those means".

It has been defined elsewhere as "turning expressions of the system and its media culture against itself" - as when slogans and logos are turned against their advertisers or the political status quo.

Détournement was prominently used to set up subversive political pranks and it is one of the two basic techniques of the Situationists International.

The term "situationist" refers to the construction of situations, one of the early central concepts of the Situationist International. The term also refers to any individuals engaged in the construction of situations.

The situation was seen as a tool for the liberation of everyday life, a method of negating the pervasive alienation.

The authors of InEnArt will publish different phenomenas of Détournement and invite you to participate by uploading similar examples.

Place Hacking

One aspect of Place Hacking can be described as Urban Exploration.

Devotees around the world explore the hidden sides of cities - abandoned buildings, underground tunnels, sewer systems, unused stretches of subway or old industry plants.

The movement uses the potential of existing public space and transform it into a moving environment.

Guerrilla Gardening as a form of Place Hacking is gardening on land that the gardeners do not have legal right to use, often an abandoned site or area not cared for by anyone.

We understand Urban Knitting as well as a form of Place Hacking that employs colourful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn or fibre.

The celebration of May Day around the world is seen also as a phenomena that deals with the relationship between artistic practices and political action.
