Adbusting
Modifying advertisement content
Subvertising
subvertise + advertise at the same time
why
not
to like advertisement?
-
it disturbs / it's ugly
-
it wants to sell us something
-
nobody asked us if we want to see it
-
manipulation (political and commercial)
-
pushing us to consume more
-
more consumption means more environmental harm
Capitalism needs constant growth, economy need to produce more, consumers need to consume more
Without the triggering from advertising, this consinuous-growth system wouldn't work.
Some people say it's always been like this, but not the case..
This came in since the industrial revolution, when cheap mass production (also of flyers and posters) came in.

Branding critique, such as andre the giant, OBEY that started as critique inspired by subvertising, taking the image from the They Live movie, spreading massively, then becoming a brand itself, then
OBEY sold to Adidas
