But is it ART? Depends on how you define "art"...

It's actually not a new thing. Art has often pushed beyond the traditional boundary of "aesthetic object":
  • ​Dada (1915)
    • see also, Marcel Duchamp and the "readymade"
  • CoBrA (1948)
  • Situationist International​ (1957)
    • see also, Asger Jorn and the "modification"​​

So who are some contemporary artists working to question culture and make social change? 
  • Who are the Key Figure in Socially Engaged Art Today?

Culture Jamming! You can change the message.

The Artist as Researcher: Artistic process:

Consider how the steps in the Artistic Thinking Process are analogous to research. Consider also how these steps can be used by individuals as well as collaborators. It's a cycle of inquiry... keep asking questions, keep making art!
