The Public Ad Campaign posted a very helpful instructional video for street artists looking to replace phone booth advertisements with art. Keep in mind their disclaimer:
Remember it is illegal to tamper with private property even when it’s in your public environment, assaulting your senses with messages you couldn’t care less about for things you don’t need.
Some Cardinal’s fans decided to declare their hatred for the Chicago Cubs in the snow outside Busch Stadium in St. Louis. While the message is not all that inspiring, you have to admit the execution is impressive. That’s some good hand footwriting.
In The Butt is a new website created by Sarah Claspell and Evan Pohl. They say the project aims to prove “everything’s funnier in the butt.” I don’t think anyone can argue with that.
We’ve recently discovered a very awesome project by UK artist Luke Jerram called Sky Orchestra. Jerram attaches very loud speakers to 7 hot air balloons and then sends them up to hover above a city. Each speaker plays a certain part of a song composed by Dan Jones, creating surround sound in the sky! It’s sort of like a hot air balloon version of Zaireeka. The project has been going on since 2003. The above video is from Switzerland in 2005. Here’s one more video from the Sydney version in 2007.
