John Jordan's work balance on the edge of art and activism. Co-founder of Reclaim the Streets and the Clown Army (now AWOL), Co-editor of We Are Everywhere: the irresistible rise of global anti-capitalism (Verso,2003), and the film/book Les Sentiers de L’utopie (Paths through Utopia), he now works in the Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination (www.labofii.net), infamous for fermenting mass disobedience on bicycles, throwing snowballs at bankers and launching a pirate raft regatta to shut down a coal fired power station and overcoming censorship by the Tate Gallery. The collective now lives on a communal organic farm and is working on Climate Games, the worlds largest disobedient action adventure game, for the Paris UN Climate Summit( November 30th to December 12th 2015).
