What I noticed about existing art interventions were the fact that most of them relied on juxtaposing the environment, the context, or an actual action of an intervention with existing installations, real-life objects, public property, or anything that exists, like for instance, Pirates of the Amazon used the idea of incorporating a plug-in that displayed relevant links to torrents to a very popular online store.
One idea that I had for an intervention is a 'what-if' scenario that uses two clips juxtaposed to create a faux news report, which I did, by taking a clip of Justin Bieber getting shot whilst he played a character in an episode of CSI and placing it next to an edited clip of a North Korean news report about the entire country mourning the loss of the Dear Leader. I then added fake subtitles to the clip so then it was about Justin Bieber getting killed and the country mourning his loss, in reference to a 4chan campaign to rig votes for the next country that Justin Bieber is to perform in, and imagining if it were true, and if he (well, it will never happen in reality) was ever to be shot dead, the hysteria would have struck to almost the same extent when the King of Pop died, and that of Kim Il-Sung.
