Algo interesante paso el fin de semana pasado en New York. Los artistas callejeros del proyecto “New York Street Advertising Takeover” tomaron asuntos en sus manos y decidieron atacar con su arte los 140 carteles publicitaros ilegales que estan distribuidos a travez de toda la ciudad. Aqui van algunos de sus resultos, y puedes encontrar mas aqui.
“Some interesting vigilante justice happened in NYC over the weekend – the ‘New York Street Advertising Takeover’ project happened over the weekend, with 120 illegal billboards in and around NYC being white-washed and then painted over by about 80 different artists. Only billboards (apparently mostly all from one agency) that weren’t registered with the city were targeted.” See more pictures here.

En 1976 New York ya se había autoproclamado como la capital del mundo y Saul Steinberg lo hizo sentir con esta portada del New Yorker, ironizando lo poco que sabian los newyorkinos del mundo.
[English readers] The New Yorker cover by Saul Steinberg (March 29, 1976) “View of the World from 9th Avenue,” has come to represent Manhattan’s telescoped interpretation of the country beyond the Hudson River. The cartoon showed the supposedly limited mental geography of Manhattanites.
The image shows Manhattan’s 9th Avenue, 10th Avenue, and the Hudson River (appropriately labeled), while the top half depicts the rest of the world. The rest of the United States is drawn as a square, with a thin brown strip along the Hudson representing New Jersey, the names of five cities (Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Las Vegas, Kansas City, and Chicago) and three states (Texas, Utah, and Nebraska) are scattered among a few rocks for the U.S. beyond New Jersey. The Pacific Ocean, perhaps half as wide again as the Hudson, separates the U.S. from three flattened land masses labeled China, Japan, and Russia.
Thank you Katti!

No, no es una foto actual. Es una foto de New York City y sus luces mas tenues en 1943, con el fin de ahorrar plata en energia durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Una estrategia que debiera imitarse actualmente?
“New York City’s lights are dimmed in 1943, to cut the city’s energy costs during World War II. A strategy we could perhaps employ in these troubled economic times?”
