Since 1996 The Sociometry Fair has followed the quadrennial Presidential Elections & Olympiads. is agents document guerilla sociometry – socially engaged or activist art deploying humor and pranks on tri-fold displays – documenting is’s perpetual theme: “individuals and their relationship to groups”. iSFair 2O12 in San Francisco will complete the pentathlon of five fairs convened since the previous century culminating in the coming infOcalypse when is will go analog.

The Institute of Sociometry or IS (www.sociometry.com) is an loosely organized artists collective founded in 1995 in San Diego California. IS deploys Art strategies from ’Pataphysics, Dada, Fluxus, Situationism, Conceptual and Performance Art, Neoism, and Immediatism. The work is often documenting socially engaged or activist art deploying humor and pranks in the form of large scale and full-wall tri-folds using mail-art, seen-prints, letterpress prints and every type of tape and thumb-tack. Special Agent Starter Kits and Analog Survival Kits are handed out or mailed to participants during the Fair.
