Lost Connection

After decades of adbusting and billboard takeovers and legal wrangles with JC Decaux and Clear Channel and the decreasing lifespan of "we got keys for that" projects, I decided to take the next logical step. Liberating the actual physical billboards from one site, and mounting them on our own. I mean, how would they know? Two years and numerous artists later, including the UK king of subvertising dr D and also the Nordic Venice Biennale participant Maret Anne Sara, I took it upon myself to re-activate them.

Anti-advertising, subvertising, ad takeovers, anti-consumerist, art washing, mental health issues, body dysmorphia, vandalism, self-esteem challenges, public art, place taking, mental environments, conceptual art, digital fascism, critical street art, stencil art, freedom of spe... Or just a bit of harmless fun on a sunny Monday morning? all of this and more.
