Cacophony Society

The Cacophony Society is an informal, improvisational group founded in the late 1980s that emphasizes creativity, urban exploration, and playful acts of surprise within public spaces. Members often engage in unconventional, humorous, and boundary-pushing activities to challenge social norms and inject spontaneity into everyday life. Their work has influenced events like Burning Man and fosters a community focused on artistic expression, improvisation, and community engagement through collective, non-traditional experiences. The society encourages individual originality while promoting a sense of shared adventure in navigating and reimagining urban environments.
