All of this will come true unless we choose to reverse it

This video named ‘Lost generation’ was created for the AARP (American Association of Retired People) U@50 video contest last year and placed second. So simple and yet so brilliant. It is based on the Argentinian Political Advertisement “The Truth” by RECREAR.

Zebra Stripes and Portuguese Pedestrians

Designed for the Portuguese advocacy group Associação de Cidadãos Auto-Mobilizados, the campaign installed crosswalks made of typography - the conventional solid white “zebra” stripes were replaced with the names of individuals killed by vehicles - and strove to raise awareness that 1/4 of the victims of automobile accidents are pedestrians. My only problem with this one would be the fact that I would get run over by a car while looking at the names. Other than that, smart idé. What do you think?

Street Art: Joshua Allen Harris' Inflatable Bag Monsters

A while back I showed you Enviromental Defense Found and the Polar bears. I absolutly love it. We never once considered the artistic possibilities of subway exhaust. Using only tape and garbage bags, creating giant inflatable animals that become animated when fastened to a sidewalk grate.
Steven Psyllos caught up with Joshua Allen Harris, the street artist creator, recently to discuss his older works (including a bear and a giraffe) and unveil a new beast that looks not unlike the Cloverfield monster.

That mission is to end homelessness.
