It would be pretty cool if you could replace advertisements altogether. Imagine driving down the road instead of billboards you see art work.

- derekjobst 12y agoThat is such a great idea.
- zzkt 12y agosomething like The Artvertiser perhaps? http://theartvertiser.com/ http://theartvertiser.com/
- bduerst 12y agoBillboards are expensive. Who would pay to put art up there? Artists? Then you're back at artists advertising their work.
- sparky_z 12y agoHe meant it would be nice to have this AR technology replace the ads with artwork in your field of vision.
- VLM 12y ago>Imagine driving down the road instead of billboards you see art work. How you made it 28 minutes before someone suggested pr0n is a mystery to me.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoIt's been done already. Someone hacked a street billboard in Russia once to play pornography.
- mrtron 12y agoAnd replace brand logos with accurate descriptions. Instead of blurring the label, translate Coca Cola -> Cola Soda Pop (355ml/300 cals)

- chriskelley 12y agoIn São Paulo they have the "clean city law"[1] which banned outdoor advertising in 2006.

- ToastyMallows 12y agoThis is crazy, these pictures look like they're from a dystopian future. Can you imagine if this happened in the U.S.?
- hellbanner 12y agoYeah, US drivers wouldn't get distracted by flashing billboards.
- scott_karana 12y agoSome might say it looks like a utopian future :)
- TeMPOraL 12y agoExactly. I live in a place with a bit less ad clutter than usual, so it's the US cities that look dystopian to me :).
- ToastyMallows 12y agoPoint well taken! It would be nice to live in that city I must admit :)
- wldcordeiro 12y agoIt would be amazing, especially if they also tore down all the billboards instead of leaving them up and blank.

- anigbrowl 12y agoOr this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18qD9hmU9xg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18qD9hmU9xg This is an excerpt from Slavoj zizek's Pervert's Guide to Ideology, which in turn excerpts the cult sci-fi film They Live. Both are very much worth your time.
