Playful Installation Welcomes Visitors to Swim in an Ocean of 1 Million Plastic Balls. Culture Jamming e Adbusters – A Contracultura. Num mundo onde marcas e produtos ditam as tendências e consumidores parecem aceitar de cabeça baixa o que a eles é imposto, vemos um movimento invadindo nossos computadores, televisores, outdoors e diversos outros meios de comunicação com o objetivo de nos fazer pensar em tudo o que está acontecendo.
O Culture Jamming é caracterizado por alterar comerciais, logos, propagandas impressas ou em outdoor, de forma que o significado original seja alterado, buscando desmascarar as grandes corporações e fazendo com que os consumidores pensem no que realmente é legal.

É complicado de definir quando esta prática se iniciou, mas vemos ao longo da história relatos de Adbusting desde a revolução de Maio de 68. Street furniture billboards by IBM + ogilvy france.

Studio Moross/Red Bull's fantastic public interaction billboard for Jessie Ware. Red Bull & Studio Moross for Jessie Ware After countless brilliant music videos and a fantastic Guardian Guide cover last week, Studio Moross has now created a fully interactive billboard in collaboration with Red Bull to promote soon-to-be superstar Jessie Ware’s new album Devotion.
The public were encouraged to come and colour in hundreds of dots that sprawled across a huge billboard at street-level, whilst listening to the album. Gradually, as more people became involved and the dots were slowly filled, the image of Ware’s beautiful head began to appear, making for one pretty spectacular piece of promotion! Well done Studio Moross, well done.
The installation will be displayed until August 26 in London’s Broadway Market. Gunilla Klingberg: A Sign in Space.
