Tired of seeing advertisements plastered all over city surfaces, from billboards to bus stops? French artist The Wa has a simple solution: pull down the shade. The installation artist placed roller blinds over ads in the city of Toulouse, allowing passersby to decide whether or not they want to look at them.
As always a pleasure to keep and share references that might be work for the future, we welcome you to THE STORAGE of Rika And Silvia Project.
Rika and Silvia project is an initiative from two Jakartans, Rika Febriyani and Silvia Honsa. This initiative believes that public participation in spatial planning is important. Using Lego toys, this project encourages simulations to consider how important components of public space could be rearranged. This simulation directly involves people in a range of public settings that they pass through or temporarily occupy. As the project engages people in a direct manipulation of potential designs and innovations, without the necessity of prolonged discussion, it can be envisioned as one of many important devices to understand people's concerns about public space and their ideas for potential changes. • Ask me anything
