[UA] Shopdropping

[Fidel Santiago]

I´ve been reading about shopdropping [1] and I think is something very
postmodern. I don´t know what kind of Adept may gain charges from
this, maybe the Infomancer, but I know there is power is "cheating"
the people.

> SHOPDROP: To covertly place merchandise on display in a store. Primarily used in tactical media projects and art installations. A form of "culture jamming"[2] s. reverse shoplift, droplift.

If you can read Spanish "Fogonazos" [3] has a very good article about
it. In English the NY Times has a very good one too.[4]

> Otherwise known as reverse shoplifting, shopdropping involves surreptitiously putting things in stores, rather than illegally taking them out, and the motivations vary.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!!
