AE and videomorphose bomb Lisboa with videograffiti

Together with local VJ collective, videomorphose.com, AE bombed the city with guerilla video graffiti, a form of urban street art new to lisboa. Armed with a full magazine of subversive content in their laptops and a high-performance videobeamer firing twenty five frames per second mounted inside a civilian SUV, the crew of four assaulted the streets late at night with their temporary visual ammunition. Video graffiti covered walls, automobiles, and monuments temporarlily, leaving behind no damage or trace of their presence. Public spaces, with thousands of buildings acting as canvasses, are prime targets for displaying messages and transporting ideas - advertising companies recognize this, and that is why they are branded with commercial messages. In contemporary times, these are actually the dominant message, and its "pay to play". In the same way that grafitti artists retake these urban spaces and reclaim them to for non-commercial messages expressing their disenfrachisement, artificialeyes.tv "branded" lisboa with the message, "BLINK TOUR", encouraging spectators to "turn off, tune out, and drop in", and to question whether the medium is "still" the message.Check out the 4 minute video below.
