ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Detournement

Detournement is a fancy word for taking something that already exists, like a picture or a video, and changing it so it means something different. It's like coloring outside the lines or adding your own twist to something.

Imagine you have a coloring book and you're supposed to color a picture of a cat. But instead of coloring it the regular way, you add sunglasses, a hat, and a big grin. That's kind of like detournement.

People use detournement to make fun of things or to share their own ideas in a creative way. It's like a way to take something and make it your own.
