Culture Jamming Questions

1. Is technology the most important tool in current culture jamming practices?
2. If technology is the form of the message and the thing being criticized in the message, how effective could this approach be?
3. Is culture jamming limited to only those with access to the technology?
4. If the access to technology is essential in effective culture jamming, has it become an elitest practice?
5. Who decides how effective a culture jamming project is? What is the end goal?
6. Various culture jamming practices (sampling, rearranging advertisements) have become separate art practices in themselves. Do they become art in their own right, or are they still culture jamming practices?
7. What's the difference between art and culture jamming? Is culture jamming an art form?
8. Does copyright interject in the creative process? Does it prevent the creative process to occur?
9. Can culture jamming be a viable profession? Are the members of Negativeland musicians or culture jammers? Can you be both and be paid for it? Does that become a problematic pairing?
10. Do you have to possess certain qualities to be a culture jammer? Or do you have to not possess certain qualities...such as not being a part of a corporate institution who practices the very thing you might address in your works.
