Inspiration:
Trigger Happy TV
Graphic Designers/Artists/Comedians (all the same thing) create situations. From a sociological birds eye view they intuitively understand the expectations, assumptions, and processes that happen when people engage with other people/places/things. They use this to communicate/undermine/subvert/illuminate/empower/all of the above. Trigger Happy is a UK prank show, but if you look past the stupidity, there is an art to the craft.
