Urban Blooz, one of my favourites from "The Art Of Rebellion 2" this is quoted from the book.
"Urban Blooz is an art project which started in 2003. It is a reaction to the colonization of public spaces by advertisment. The content of the billboards is getting erased and replaced by a poster showing the frame of the environment that is covered by the advertisment itself. This creates a game/ploy between the pedestrians and the urban environment. It is also about a reflection of the usage and function of graphism"

I know that the homeless are not the target audience, but thats gotta hurt

The money had lots of value, more value than most millions ....
"Yes. They burnt a million pounds in an abandoned boathouse on Jura, (near the village of Ardfin if you want to make a pilgrimage) in the middle of the night of the 23rd of August 1994. It took just over an hour for Cauty and Drummond to pile the wads onto the flames, while Gimpo filmed it, and freelance journalist Jim Reid witnessed it. The whole story is told by Reid in an article called 'Money To Burn' from GQ magazine, available in the ftp archive. Reid admits to feeling at first guilt, then boredom while watching
the money burn"
and.....
"It's not even true
that they are fools who have lost their money, as by having "he burnt a million pounds" on their CV's they will be interesting to the media for the rest of their lives"
Great link by the way.
