Here are stills of the stencil I put up on the ads that went up on wall outside Eyebeam. And two images from people who answered the call!

IllegalBillboards.org

Steve Lambert — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 18:43:23 +0000

IllegalBillboards.org is a new effort launched by the Anti-Advertising Agency with IllegalSigns.ca to help organize and support the removal of illegal billboards in New York (we’ll get to the rest of the country soon I hope!). IllegalBillboards.org consists of a forum and blog where you can learn how to investigate an illegal sign and track progress.

This project got started at last months Illegal Billboard workshop at Eyebeam (se e photos above) and we’re just beginning. We want to welcome you to join us. We’ll soon be going on a field trip to identify signs – that will probably end at a bar – so join the email list. I’ll be out of town for a couple weeks, so Jordan from Public Ad Campaign will be in charge.

Why You Should Be In New York July 1st

Steve Lambert — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 02:30:06 +0000

Activists estimate that half the billboards in New York City are illegal. Between fudged permits, lack of enforcement, and millions in profit, outdoor advertising has become a corporate black market that wont flinch at breaking laws to get your attention. On July 1st, the Anti-Advertising Agency and Rami Tabello of IllegalSigns.ca will give a free workshop teaching you how to identify illegal advertising and get it taken down. You will leave this workshop equipped to have illegal signs removed in your neighborhood.

Canadian activist group IllegalSigns.ca is responsible for the removal over 100 illegal billboards in the City of Toronto and will reveal how the billboard industry gets away with breaking the law and what New Yorkers can do to stop it.

Tuesday July 1st, 2008 6pm – Free
Eyebeam Center for Art and Technology
540 W. 21st St.
New York, NY 10011
