Cities
Reclaim our streets
Saturday, 10th December 2005
A new Arts Council-funded book suggests that members of the public should urinate on national monuments — all in the name of ‘corporate subversion’, of course. DiY Survival, a collection produced by the art group C6, is packed with ideas on how to undermine capitalism in your spare time.
Collect Starbucks Coffee paper cups from bins and change the lettering with a green liner pen (cross out the ‘star’, change ‘b’ to an ‘f’, cross out the ‘s’; and keep the ‘off’ from ‘coffee’). Place modified cups in a branch of Starbucks, preferably somewhere where there are lots of City types. Or how about blocking mobile-phone conversations? Buy one of those recordable greetings cards and record a message such as ‘Your conversation is very annoying.’ Rig it up to a gadget that detects mobile phones and it will play whenever one is in earshot.
