This just blew my mind a bit. It made me think of how corporations are like giant organisms, and their ads are like mating calls that drive their thriving and reproduction.
- FridgeSeal 8y agoDon't mistake advertising for culture. You can have vibrant, colourful environments without advertising.
- crazygringo 8y agoThat's a great point. The Bushwick neighborhood in NYC is a prime example. Although even some of those murals are being co-opted by brands! :S
- darkerside 8y agoIs advertising not an enormous part of modern culture? It's certainly not the only kind, but it's where we've allocated tons of resources to provoke and stimulate.
- FridgeSeal 8y agoAdvertisers is a parasite on culture in that it can be a part of it, but for the most part it leeches and re-appropriates culture for its own ends. Advertising would very much like you to think it’s a big part of modern culture, because that would be vindicating and validating it’s existence.
