Anti-Ad Campaign - New York

Early Saturday morning, April twenty-fifth, scores of artists and volunteers took to the streets of NYC armed with rollers and five gallon buckets of white paint. By the mid afternoon, this group had whitewashed over 120 outdoor advertising spaces. These spaces were then left teeming with myriad art-stuffs by nightfall. In a deft move of mass motivation, this "Anti-Ad Campaign" was masterminded by one Jordan Seiler. The cause, to raise awareness to the illegality of these outdoor advertising spaces, to give the public a moments respite to the non-stop inundation caused by ads and to exact a little revenge. I must say, after seeing almost 18,000 square feet of blight washed white, the city certainly felt a bit breezier. ---DICKCHICKEN

New Austalian Child Abuse Campaign

Faking Awesome

Any awareness campaign that works to better children’s lives needs to be supported, even when they use provocative measures to get their cause across.

This shocking street campaign from Melbourne was created by the Australian Childhood Foundation to put focus on child abuse, and shed light on how the abuse is often invisible to the surroundings and hence the children are neglected.

The campaign runs under the title: Stop Child Abuse Now. Life-size child mannequins where placed at key city centers behind huge billposters only showing the legs and feet of the “child”. They used the tagline, “Neglected Children are made to feel invisible”. This is a powerful advertising campaign designed by JWT, Melbourne.

Four Thirds System

fourthirds

Finally everyone is going to play together, well almost everyone. If you’re a photo nut, you already know about the Four Thirds movement, if not here it is in a nut shell. Four Thirds System is a cooperative venture to standardize interchangeable lens. Which means Kodak, Panasonic, Olympus, and even Leica will support the same lens mount. It’s like taking your cell number to another network, now you can take your camera to another lens system, or the other way around. The really cool thing about it, (image above) you will see a lot of small compact cameras with some big lens’… For more info check it out here.
