+## Overview
+
+Welcome to the Culture Jamming page. Here we will explore and document
+the history and practice of culture jamming. Feel free to add to this
+wiki if you have gems to share.
+
+From [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_jamming): Coined
+by the collage band Negativland on its release JamCon '84, the phrase
+"culture jamming" comes from the idea of radio jamming: that public
+frequencies can be pirated and subverted for independent communication,
+or to disrupt dominant frequencies\[12\].
