POLITIKA // Bill Posters - 'Ad Agency' (Vine)

'Ad Agency' (Vine)

Duration: 7 seconds

In 2012, Bill Posters founded the Brandalism project. By combining the arts, social and politics in art practice and process and by engaging in guerilla warfare with consumerism and the dominance of private corporations within public space, Bill Posters is not just making political art, but making art politically. Influenced by Dada and the Situationist International’s tactics of detournement and simulation, Bill Posters’ art works are always Installed anonymously within the public realm as gifts to society.

Artist Statement:

This vine asks a very simple question. Why do we not have agency and control over our exposure to advertisements within public space? Online, in magazines, on television we can choose to engage. Why is public space different?
