This is making the rounds could inspire some creative action:

There’s a set of instructions on how to hack the signs floating around the internet. My favorite series is over on the MIT site.

Thanks Kelli Anderson for the tip!

Add-Art is now Firefox 3 compatible!

Steve Lambert — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 13:38:09 +0000

Great news; Add-Art, the Firefox browser extension that replaces ads with art is now Firefox 3 compatible. The extension blocks advertising and replaces it with art images that change every two weeks. The art comes from contemporary artists and curators – read a review from Rhizome.

If you’ve been waiting for Add-Art to work in Firefox 3, now is the time to update.

Autonomous public art workshop, Madrid

Steve Lambert — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 14:30:19 +0000

I just found this in the documentation of a Autonomous public art workshop, Madrid. Good stuff…

An intervention that intelligently targets a certain Achilles’ heel of advertising. As pointed out by culture jamming documenter Dave Gross in his brilliant piece Interrupt pathological, media simulated social interaction, it is by engaging us in a fictional personal relationship through eye contact that most advertisements get our attention.

p>Therefore the obliteration of the eyes of the models greatly disarms the images. Jiménez’s piece builds on that idea and suggests a game that is as fun to play as it is to watch.
