"Facecrack," a Culture Jamming Project

My culture jamming project's premise was taking the new huge powerful social network, Facebook, and critiquing its power over people in terms of how it is taking people's time, energy, and time from reality and is addictive, it is living life through a social network vs. reality. I took the actual ad and used a different font that was closest as possible and put these in sticker form all over different places I could find such as bathrooms where people are in constant interaction and can focus on different places. I took the facebook's tagline of "Facebook helps you connect and share with the people in your life" and changed it to "Facecrack helps you waste time and stalk the people in your life." The overuse of facebook for people is phenomenal to the point of people's lack of interaction in real life vs. in the cyberworld. People live their lives on facebook from showing off their newborn's photos weekly to their depressive posts about breakups, and many other life updates. While this doesn't seem awful, it begins a lack of actual communication in real life like with people and referring to facebook as the only means of interaction.
