  • Igor Vamos is a leading member of The Yes Men and an assistant professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Vamos is sometimes known as Mike Bonanno during his work with The Yes Men. He is a co-founder of RTmark and won a 2003 Guggenheim Fellowship for his film about an abandoned military base in Wendover, Utah. Vamos earned an undergraduate degree from Reed College in Studio Art. One of his first successful projects was the "Barbie Liberation Organization". He replaced the voices of a handful Barbie dolls with those of G.I. Joe dolls: the soldiers ended up saying "Let's go shopping!", while Barbies said "Vengeance is mine!". It was a small-scale project and few people actually found themselves in possession of the switched dolls, but the stunt was still able to attract media attention
