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.
