Performance Hacks
A lot of what happens at MIT is unusual, or at least follows different conventions from much of society. Hackers often take advantage of this difference, using the hack to call attention to it. Many such hacks require a well-timed event and/or some acting ability on the part of the hackers. These performance hacks are usually great fun for all involved.
