NYC’s True Graffiti Problem

Advertising is the vandalism of the Fortune 500.

This is the first collaboration between the Anti-Advertising Agency and Graffiti Research Lab. Modified from Ji Lee’s Abstractor TV. We used black foam core ($10/sheet) cut with a laser cutter - however, this project can be done with an x-acto blade, black construction paper, and duct tape for next to nothing. It can be repeated using any backlit display - bus shelters, display ads, television store windows… dream big, act now.

Agree with choggie. This is probably the coolest thing I've seen today. It reminds me of these horrible horrible signs around Halifax that somebody decided to draw on in chalk- THIS SIGN IS UGLY

Well done! This is fantastic culture jamming.

I must be becoming immune to advertisements. I just don't seem to notice or care. Or perhaps it's a desensitization.

so, if
advertising = graffiti
and
graffiti = art
then
advertising = art
right?

That's what is being pushed in art education.
