2007: Nuclear Pranksters Hijack The Weather Report
In the summer of 2007, an average weather forecast by a local Czech TV station erupted into calamity when a group of local artists spliced footageof an atomic bomb over that day’s weather report. The brief glimpse into an imaginary armageddon, the group later claimed, was part of a project showing how media coverage manipulated people’s perception of reality.
It turns out local authorities weren’t a fan. The six artists involved were jailed for three years for the disruption.
