Radical art on the net

Created by a global network of campaigners and artists, Subvertise.org documents, develops and promotes what it calls "the art form of the post-corporate millennium" — "subvertising".

Subvertising is "the art of cultural resistance". It is the "writing on the wall", the sticker on the telegraph pole, the graffiti rewording of advertising billboards, the spoof T-shirt and many other creative acts. It is also the mass act of defiance of a street protest. The key process involves reclaiming our environment from the corporate beast.

Subvertise.org (at <http://www.subvertise.org>) displays hundreds of images, photos, banners, "corrected" billboards that highlight a spectrum of issues including transport, war, climate change, sexism, racism, corporations, sexuality and globalisation. Many images are anti-copyright and can be downloaded at a high resolution. The images hyperlink to artists, campaigns and web sites with further information.

Whether you need outrageous illustrations for campaign literature, graphics for explaining complex social issues, or inspiration for an action, this web site should be bookmarked. Other activists are urged to add their own images.

For further information, e-mail <daf@flatpress.com>. Send submissions (less than 500k) to <subvertise@soon.com>.
