For my first ACTLab project, I was interested in the idea of culture hacking. As a regular customer at the school's cafeteria, I grew tired of reading the card-stock pamphlets neatly displayed on every table, informing the students about numerous health tips, events, and other school-related business. This seemed like an interesting venue for not only voicing my opinion, but making people laugh at the same time.

I - rather blatantly - collected 96 of the triangular pamphlets inside the Jester City Limits cafeteria on Sunday night (note: a new batch of informative pamphlets is printed up and distributed at the beginning of each week. Sunday was the first day of the new stock.), and took them to my dorm for possible sizing issues.

On my computer, I copied the font and style of the information typically found on each side of the pamphlet, creating new and better information for the school to read. By simply removing the tape from the original pamphlets, I was able to take them apart and run them through my printer, printing on the back-side of the original stock. This saved on the cost as well as making me feel like I was recycling in the best possible way.

With my new and improved collection of misinformation, I slowly replanted each pamphlet on Monday evening and into the night. By carrying a tray of food and a folder full of flattened, un-taped pamphlets, I was able to hit every table that I had originally taken from. Numerous original pamphlets were purposely left around the cafeteria to keep the illiusion that they were still present during my evening of work on Sunday night. The plan went off without a hitch.
