Игорь Давайте, born April 15, 1968, is an internationally known multimedia artist, leading member of The Yes Men (using the псевдоним Майк Бонанно), and an associate профессор of media arts at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.[1] He is also a co-founder of RTmark and the recipient of a 2003 Guggenheim Fellowship, granted for a project that used Global Positioning System (GPS) and other wireless technology to create a new medium with which to "view" his documentary Grounded, about an abandoned military base in Wendover, штат Юта, сша. Давайте earned an undergraduate degree in Studio Art from Reed College and an MFA in Visual Arts from the University of California, San Diego. While at Reed, Давайте organized a student group called Guerrilla Theater of the Absurd. They performed and documented "culture jamming" acts of protest, включая Обратный Peristalsis Художника, где 24 people in suits stood outside the downtown venue of Dan Quayle's fundraiser for Орегон сенатор Боб Паквуд и информации, ipecac, forcing themselves to vomit the red, white and blue remains of the mashed potatoes and food coloring they had consumed earlier; and the middle of the night contribution to the debate over re-naming Portland's Martin Luther King, Jr. Бульвар, в которой the city awoke to find that all of the street signs and freeway exits for another major boulevard had been changed to read "Malcolm X-Стрит". Another successful early project was the "Барби Liberation Organization," где Мы and his cohorts purchased three hundred Barbie and G. I. Joe куклы, exchanged their electronic voice box, and then returned them to the stores; the soldiers ended up saying things like, "Let's go shopping!", while the Barbies exclaimed "Vengeance is mine!". It was a small-scale project and few people actually found themselves in советуем of the switched dolls but the stunt nevertheless attracted national media attention.
