Re: The Nissan Campaign:

/>From BLEAKNYC: “With the whole Nissan add thing - its a
dichotomy, on the one hand you have big business capitalizing on anything new
and so called “trendy” to ensure a proper demographic buying group, which has
been the pre-imminent downfall of a lot of sub-cultural movements. on the other
hand, with a major part of street art being the drive to sub-vert and/or re-
appropriate corporate images/logos and call attention to their
destructive/biased platforms, the fact that big business has taken notice, to
even try to understand the movement speaks volumes about the impact of street
art. you(we) are making an impact, grungy kids/adults armed with nothing more
than paint, wheat paste, stickers, spraypaint, drive and imagination are getting
into the heads of multi-millionaire corporation heads. KEEP IT UP.
later.”

From SCT: “A few months ago in
Holland we had a same sort of disease. A lot of stickers of a mask with
snaketongue went up all over the country. The campaign was so huge and
agressive, they even pasted over other “real” streetart.  They also apeared with
urls on the stickers #www.darkafterdark.nl# (do not click, don`t give them the
hits.)  After a bit of research it came out. This was campaign done by a big
BeerBrand (I don`t tell you wich Brand, it doesn`t taste good anyway, so fuck
them,)  They hired a bunch of naive students to spread their propaganda. Fuck
this sort of campaigns and fuck the guys who abuse streetart for
commercials.”
