Illegal Advertising Replaced With Public Art

Were trying to make a point here that the public should be the ones using a public space, and not commercial or corporate interest.

What is occupying our brains? Is it just a lot of brands and a lot of billboards or is there space for other things?

“An unnerving element of this gadget (iPhone) is that it is haunted by a weird set of unpredictable user interface delays. One’s mind waits for the response to the press of a virtual button, but it doesn’t come for a while. An odd tension builds during that moment… It’s the ghost of UNIX, still refusing to accommodate the rhythms of my body and my mind.. the idea that a symbol is more important than the flow of time and the underlying continuity of experience.” Jaron Lanier from You are not a Gadget

Deepak Chopra:

If you do radioactive isotope studies which have been done very elegantly, you can prove beyond a shadow of doubt that you replace 98% of all the atoms in your body in less than one year. You make a new liver every 6 weeks, a new skin once a month, a new stomach lining every 5 days, a new skeleton - it seems so hard and solid, but the skeleton you have now you didn’t have three months ago. Even the brain cells that you think with as carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen, as those basic elements, they weren’t there one year ago. And the DNA that holds memories of millions of years of evolutionary time, in fact hundreds of millions of years; the actual raw material of it comes and goes every six weeks. Those atoms drift in and out like migratory birds every six weeks.

If you have a ship and replace every nail, board, window… every part of a ship, is it still the same ship?
