In my English A2 class today we concluded our Media Studies Semester by finishing the film Tough Guise, and then watching a presentation by Ji Lee, the creator of the Bubble Project.
I found the project’s “manifesto” interesting:
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 transforms these annoying corporate monologues into open public dialogues. . . .
