The Bubble Project

The Bubble Project is a worldwide movement meant to recapture public spaces. The site provides downloadable bubble sticker templates for participants to print and adhere to the public surface of their choice. The phenomena is in what random passersby choose to express on the bubbles. The Bubble Project manifesto is as follows:
Our communal spaces are being overrun with ads. Train stations, streets, squares, busses, and subways now scream one message after another at us. Once considered “public,” these spaces are increasingly being seized by corporations to propagate their messages. We the public, are both target and victim of this media attack.
The Bubble Project instantly transform these annoying corporate monologues into open public dialogues. They encourage anyone to fill them in with any expression, free from censorship. More Bubbles mean more freed spaces, more sharing of personal thoughts, more reactions to current events, and most importantly, more imagination and fun.

Oh man I love this project!! There’s one of the starbucks logo and the mermaid is saying “Have you seen my nipples?” I love the interactivity it creates with the consumer and how they actually respond to an ad, good or bad, not just how we perceive they do. Nice post!
