Infiltrate and intercept

To infiltrate and intercept political spaces implies a break in the normative order, a movement and even a redirection of energy, information, or social values. It is often a covert action, sometimes illegal and usually deployed to gain advantage in power relations. Can artists intervene as activists to disrupt one course and empower another? Looking at documentary evidence on activist art practices that are focused on specific situations, the targets, questions and implications of local contexts will be discussed. How can artists conceive their work, cognisant of both the frictions against and the possibilities for direct engagement? Can the representation of these practices serve again as an interception within the art/conference space?
