600 Paris Billboards Hacked With Climate Change Message

Just before COP21

Street artists working with Brandalism, a group that since 2012 has replaced European billboards with activist messages and art. They have now hacked billboards to fight against big cooperation just before COP21.

The group posted on their website that, “Following on in the guerilla art traditions of the 20th Century and taking inspiration from Agitprop, Situationist and Street Art movements, the Brandalism project sees artists from around the world collaborate to challenge the authority and legitimacy of commercial images within public space and within our culture… All the artwork is unauthorised and unsigned. This is not a project of self-promotion, and none of the artists names… or websites appear on the works:”

we believe there are already enough private interests taking ownership of our streets.

Some of the samples of the billboards which were hacked:
