Artist replaces billboard with images of the view that's being blocked

in steem •  8 years ago 

Some artists are just brilliant and have a sense of humor at the same time.

Artist Jennifer Bolande uses billboards to advertise the very thing they so often distract us from. Set up between the Gene Autry Trail and Vista Chino in California, the installation not only draws drivers’ attention back to the natural landscape, in some instances the photos line up seamlessly with the real-life background. See more images from “Visible Distance / Second Sight” below or on display as part of Desert X until April 30.

Why put those banners there in the first place?

Agreed, however those banners are put there by companies already.
You can rent those billboards to put up your advertising or use it for something like this artist did.

There should be regulations on putting banners in certain places.
