:GLOBALISATION_PROJECT [research – www.thevacuumcleaner.co.uk]:
www.thevacuumcleaner.co.uk are a UK artist and activist collective of one fashioning radical social and ecological change. By employing various creative legal and illegal tactics and forms the vacuum cleaner attempts to disrupt concentrations of power and reverse the impending collapse of planet earth.
They make performances, interventions, actions, insurrections, pranks, installations, videos, webshites, presentations, educations and such like.
One of their projects called ‘First F.R.E.E Bus’ I found really entertaining. It has a website at www.firstfreebus.co.uk and is a Bristol based project whereby a group of phoney first bus representatives go and entertain uses of the first buses. I is in reaction to the 40% rise in fares and tries to give customers more value for money.
View the event video here.
These type of protests just as found on the other sites I’ve researched too raise awareness of issues in an interesting and fun way and I think can be particularly effective in educating people of global issues that they may not have heard about before.
