How is "brandalism" anything but "culture jamming" rebranded? The rhetoric here reads like the same undergraduate and naive ideas my friends and I used to espouse before we scaled billboards and defaced their images 15 years ago dressed as workers.
I'm not knocking their idealism for a minute (frankly, our culture need less cynicism these days), but let's not kid ourselves about these ideas being even remotely progressive.
- icebraining 12y agoBrandalism seems to be a specific project of culture jamming, not a new word for the existing concept.
