Anti-Advertising History? That's Historic!

While I definitely think there are some additions to this Anti-Advertising history, I was super happy to be included in the timeline. The fact of the mater is that despite the growth of advertising alongside the rise of global capitalism, there is a strong resistance being mounted from artists and academics alike that see it as an important battleground for addressing the rampant pillaging of our planet and the de-evolution of our critical public discourse.

Advertising and the End of The World

Interested in watching the works of Sut Jhally? www.thoughtmaybe.com has put them online along with a bunch of other interesting films that any PublicAdCampaign reader should take the time to watch. A big thanks to Kyle Magee for turning us on to this fantastic resource.

A Must Watch!

Have fun this weekend!

Watch This Now

  NO AD DAY - 2014 from Vermibus on Vimeo.
A while back, Vermibus put together a international NOAD day in which participation was open and the objective simple. Remove as much advertising as you could and free public space of the commercial burden right before international buy nothing day. The first year, participants were mostly those within the anti public advertising movement, but the hope is that year by year the project will grow to include a much larger and diverse group of individuals who share a concern about our over consumption of consumer messages.
This video was released over a month ago and I am very late posting it but please give it a watch. This is an important issue and Vermibus' work is aimed at highlighting it in a serious and meaningful manner.
I look forward to next year and watching this project grow.

Landscape Video - 2001

Getting ready for NuART and I came across this old gem from 2001. Things have changed so much, and yet so little.

Activists Remove Advertising From Stockholm Subway

Like most ad removals, it's less difficult than one might think. On that note, has anyone noticed how many disparate groups are taking ad removal into their own hands? Seems like it might be time for an international call to action.

Phone Booth Removal Instructional Video

This instructional video teaches you what you need to break into a phone booth, and how to do it. 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.

Enjoy!
