Public Ad Campaign is the brainchild of Jordan Seiler. Basically, him and his posse go around New York looking for billboards to whitewash. Then they invite artists to come and decorate the blank spaces they have created.

Seiler’s war against commercial advertising hoardings began ten years ago. In that time he has developed the project into a quasi-military operation, culminating in the recent NYSAT event, in which hundreds of artists collaborated towards a significant act of civic disobedience.

I was pleased to see some of our friends were involved with NYSAT – I spotted Peru Ana Ana Peru and Philip Lumbang pics on the mircosite. www.publicadcampaign.com/nysat

We met Jordan Seiler in New York last year. He was at the Ace Hotel, doing a photo shoot in the rooms that Mint & Serf had decorated. I’d never heard of Public Ad Campaign, but he seemed like a cool guy so I checked it out. I’ve been following his progress ever since – I think he deserves respect for his dedication to street art and his cavalier attitude.
