Just Seeds Artists' Cooperative

Today, I came across this website titled: Justseeds.org
Just seeds is an online community formed by a group of activists/artists who present everyday occurences through different media tools online. They do sell their work but their work is radical. Their work informs people about the decentralized views. I believe they are run bottom up. They want to make a change. Culture jamming with an alternative voice is to express yourself with the hopes of making a change in the thing your jamming. Their message states "We believe in the power of personal expression in concert with collective action to transform society."- Justseeds.org Just seeds formed in 1998. Therefore you can infer their a fairly new culture jamming community. All of the community members are fairly young. Which brings me to say that I feel culture jamming is a fairly new form of anti-mainstream activism. After viewing some of the art work/jams that are on their websites, I feel their messages are hidden very well. When I looked at a alot of the images earlier, I realized that they are not average images represented in society, but I could not pinpoint exactly what they were jamming. Maybe I am not as informed as others? Or not as informed to the images represented in culure jamming? I would suggest you take a look and see for yourself and then let me know what you think. - Justseeds.org

Jamming the War on Terror

These media hoaxes were obviously done right around September 11, 2001. These photos are culture jamming art at its finest. The first two images obviously mock George Bush, Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein...etc. There is probably a deaper meaning to these jams but I feel it is stating that former president George Bush messed our country up and now we are in a war in/with Iraq and Afganistan. It is obvious that Bush is not well liked by these culture jammers which means they also just wanted society to see how they feel. These photos I am sure have gone mainstream as well as many other forms of culture jamming that mock former President Bush. Therefore why not put him as a "terrorist." It is an image society is not use to seeing their former President of the U.S. in. It is a recreation and a mockery of his normal image. I mean isn't that the definition of culture jamming anyways?

As for the last photo, George Bush during his presidency was always seen on his ranch. Non-supporters say that he was on vacation or at his ranch more than he was at the white house. He is often known as a president who did not do much except worsen our state of being. The culture jammer who created this photo was obviously not a supporter of Bush at a time during his presidency. I am going to assume the person who created this was a democrat or a liberal, speaking their mind on how they do not support the president. Now, I could be completely wrong but I feel most mainstream media entities (whether they support Bush or not)did not touch upon Bush in this sort of negative way like he is seen in these images. This is what makes a divergent voice throughout culture jamming. It means to speak your mind, to create awareness, to let others know their opinions matter. This is done in these images whether it is obvious or not.
Then again what do I know?
