From the GRL (Graffiti Research Lab) and the AAA (Anti-Advertising Agency) comes the Light Criticism project. Placing boards that say things like “Graffiti” “NYC’s True Graffiti Problem” and “Advertising = Graffiti” over any kind of bright obnoxious advertisements.
I think real, spraypaint graffiti is more decorative and artistic than most ads, so maybe they have a point. I saw an article somewhere that said moving or light up ads could be distracting drivers and causing more accidents…
