New York Street Advertising Takeover
Lots of public art campaigns are renegade. Banksy paints on a wall that he doesn't own. His art is about the extrajudicial reclamation of public space. This project is different, because the organizers have done their research, and discovered that other people are breaking laws.
A company called NPA / City Outdoor operate street level billboards. They didn't get the proper permits, so their operation is illegal.
This is a very cool public art campaign, because it legally reclaims public space from corporate interests.

I wonder if more campaigns like this are happening near me. Check out more projects at the public ad campaign site.
