If you’re feeling a little old these days and you want to get in touch with your inner punk rocker (circa 1982), then check out the DIY Survival Guide(”There is no subculture, only subversion”). Their website describes it thusly: “DiY SURVIVAL is a compilation of cutting edge strategies, methods and techniques of DIY art, delivering a wide range of practices, actions, events, enterprises and issues which all have to do with the art of DIY, with forms of media subversion and the intelligent sabotage of cultural markets.” If you want to buy it, it only costs 4.99 Lbs. (oh those crazy, anarchist Brits), but why not check it out for free? Just scroll to the bottom of the page for a .pdf copy of the book. Includes: “pissing on monument as form of urban intervention; how to create a wireless node; mobile art gallery; Strategies of audience engagement; techniques of mobile phones hijacking; the creation of subversion in the supermarket; brandalism and street art; Trashware; street Television; collaboration as art practice, plus essays on avant gardes, Media Pop Art, net art, the hyperconnected multitude, teaching cultural activism and much more.” Don’t you love things that promise you much more?
