After listening to Tom Pope talk about his work at the Jersey Societe, I went and researched the ‘Space HI-Jackers’ which is a group of protesters that Tom talked about during his talk. The Space Hijackers is a group originating in the United Kingdom that defines itself as;

“an international band of anarchitects who battle to save our streets, towns and cities from the evils of urban planners, architects,multinationals and other hoodlums”

This group has done several projects which is testing authority. For example the government made a law against drinking on the subway so the Space Hijackers gathered together, wearing coats and carrying suitcases (in disguise)  and all got onto the subway. When the train had started moving all of the space hijackers took their coats off to reveal their party clothes underneath and had alcohol and speakers in their suitcases- creating a party on the train. When they arrived at the next platform they all redressed and picked up all the litter and left the subway, like nothing had happened.

After researching about the Space Hijackers, it got me thinking about people who do things against social norms, such as Jack Jones.  These people do things to gain a negative or positive reaction from the public for their own pleasure. This the type of things that we needed to do in our day trip to St Malo therefor we brain stormed idea’s within out group and came up with some idea’s to experiment with.
