The Situationist International was founded by three women and six men in July 1957 in the little Ligurian town of Cosio d' Arroscia. The Situationist International (SI) would over the next decade introduce many key intellectual and artistic concepts to us, including the society of the spectacle, pyschogeography, unitary urbanism, and at least one major work of critical and utopian architecture in Constant's New Babylon: City for Another Life. In 50 Years of Recuperation McKenzie Wark, explores how our contemporary understanding of art, politics, and even reality itself has been shaped by these original culture jammers.
