“The Cacophony Society is ‘a randomly gathered network of free spirits united in the pursuit of experiences beyond the pale of mainstream society.’ It was started in 1986 by surviving members of the now defunct Suicide Club of San Francisco. … Cacophony has been described as an indirect culture jamming outgrowth of the Dada movement.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cacophony_Society) (The Suicide Club “was a secret society in San Francisco, which lasted from 1977–82. It is credited as the first modern extreme urban exploration society and [was] also known for anarchic group pranks. Despite its name, the club was not actually about suicide. Rather, the club focused on people facing their fears and engaging in daring experiences.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_Club_(secret_society)

Note: Some of the decorated envelopes sent by various chapters of the Society are, in their own offhanded way, Mail Art, a neo-Dada alternative to the bourgeois art world that had begun in the ‘60s and was still thriving in the 1990’s. Mail artists’ ethos and sensibility paralleled the mindset of many culture jammers.

Cassette interviews with culture jammers contains interviews with several Cacophonists, most notably Jack Napier (a core member not only of the Cacophony Society but of the Billboard Liberation Front and, be it said, a gifted raconteur and exuberant conversationalist).
