If you participate in WTO protests; hate multi-nationals; have issues with GMOs; do not take homelessness lightly; or are otherwise leftist or even anarchist on the political scale, you might want to skip over to your local library to get your hands on a copy of The Interventionists from The MIT Press. The book was designed to accompany an exhibit of the same name at MASS MoCA, but it really is a guideline to many levels of "artful" disobedience.
My favourite projects featured were the paraSITE, a plastic homeless shelter which attaches to HVAC ducts; and the Surveillance Camera Players, who perform "skits" with placards in front of security cameras in public locations.
