Artists Delete Ads

Ran across this interesting piece today, apparently artists Christoph Steinbrener and Rainer Dempf have wrapped in yellow plastic all ads, from billboards to placards, along a busy Vienna street, " deleting" them from view.

The piece is intended to stir thought and conversation about the over saturation of advertising. Not too surprisingly, the piece is drawing crowds who are then shopping in the now ad-less stores. So the piece offers both a complaint and an alternative solution, brilliant.
