Guerrilla Communication

The terms guerrilla communication and communication guerrilla refer to unconventional forms of communication and/or intervention in more conventional processes of communication. Communication guerilla is a specific style of political action drawing from a watchful view of the paradoxes and absurdities of power, turning these into the starting point for political interventions by playing with representations and identities, with alienation and over-identification. One form of guerrilla communication is the creation of ritual via participative public spectacle to disrupt or protest some public event or to shift the perspectives of passers-by. Such spectacles often take the form of street and guerrilla theater, such as the theater of Augusto Boal. Another way to create such spectacle is via tactical frivolity. Pie-throwing as performance art is a classic form of guerrilla communication. The event is a moment turned inside-out; art is made from the reactions of the bystanders, turning spectacle to ritual. Other forms of guerrilla communication include adbusting, graffiti, hacktivism (notably cyber squatting), and reclaiming.
