Digital Manipulation<\/h2>\r\nDigital tools empower content producers to parody graphic content both on and off of the screen. Media-makers have the ability to change the appearance of virtually anything with tools such as copy, paste, mask and clone. So the question is: given the opportunity to change any image, message, or text, where would you begin? Your answer depends upon your interests, but usually emerges from political tension. In other words, the oppressed can reclaim messages of the dominant paradigm by altering the symbolism embedded in words or images in the physical and\/or digital world. These messages might appear in museums, on city streets or in cyberspace.\r\n\r\nThe \u201csubversive\u201d part of the message-making is the way in which the aesthetics of the altered media rely upon the viewer\u2019s visual and intellectual understanding of the dominant culture prior to media confrontation. The Billboard Liberation Front and The Anti-Advertising Agency create work that illustrate this idea. Not too surprisingly, this counter-cultural, playful method of protest has already been co-opted by the advertising industry.\r\n\r\nIn No Logo, Naomi Klein illustrates how advertisers are utilizing methods common to contemporary artists to create brand awareness. She writes, \u201cPepsi's on-going threat to project its logo onto the moon's surface hasn't yet materialized, but Mattel did paint an entire street in Salford, England, \u2018a shriekingly bright bubblegum hue\u2019 of pink - houses, porches, trees, road, sidewalk, dogs, and cars were all accessories in the televised celebrations of Barbie Pink Month. Barbie is but one small part of the ballooning $30 billion \u2018experiential communication\u2019 industry, the phrase now used to encompass the staging of such branded pieces of corporate performance art and other \u2018happenings.\u2019\u201d (See No Logo, Naomi Klein, New York: Picador 9-12.)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1036\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"425\"]\"Image Image: BLF[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe Billboard Liberation Front is a group of San Franciscan message-makers who aim to repurpose and \u201cimprove\u201d billboard messages by painting or pasting on top of preexisting billboards.
