Make sure you read the instructions carefully next time you’re about to press the button at a crosswalk. Total Crisis Panic Button was installed all over Los Angeles by Jason Eppink. That project inspired the second two, put up by Ryan Laughlin in New Haven, CT.

Street Sign Chair

We’ve seen street-side seat installation projects before, but this is a nice riff on the idea. When not in use, the seat is rotated upwards to act as a sign informing passerby of its potential use. Created by Ken Mori.

Go Around Twice if You’re Happy

Written and directed by Vincent Fichard and Matthew Jones in Dubai in October 2007, this video sets out to prove that while parrots repeat, cars talk. The first minute shows the set up and is a little slow, gets good at 1:11.

Fake Street Signs

Fake street signs have been popping up in Lyon, France. The creators write:

It’s a collaborative project that takes the work of artists from around the world, in the form of fake road signs, and turns the streets of Lyon, France into an enormous gallery without walls.

The round red and white signs look enough like real European traffic signs that you might take them for granted, but weird enough if you notice them to make you stop and think.
