It’s no mystery that we’re bombarded on all fronts with advertising. Some can be funny or interesting, some an eyesore. On a recent internet prowl related to Buy Nothing Day 2009 [see previous post] I found a group called the Space Hijackers highlighted an initiative to remove some of the eyesores.
Teams of “obviously highly trained professional” (maybe…) Advert Removers took to the London Underground and flipped over advertisements to their blank side, effectively reclaiming public spaces back from corporate interests.
I stumbled upon this little nugget via Guerrilla Innovation, a wonderful collection of artistic and social projects from around the globe that get people to stop and think. Check them out and get inspired!
