Advertising Shits in Your Head calls advertisements what they are—a powerful means of control through manipulation—and highlights how people across the world are fighting back. It diagnoses the problem and offers practical tips for a DIY remedy. Faced with an ad-saturated world, activists are fighting back, equipped with stencils, printers, high-visibility vests, and utility tools. Their aim is to subvert the advertisements that control us. Using a combination of ethnographic research and theoretical analysis, it investigates the claims made by subvertising practitioners and shows how they impact their practice. With case studies from both sides of the Atlantic, this book showcases the ways in which small groups of activists are taking on corporations and states at their own game: propaganda. This international edition includes an illustrated introduction from Josh MacPhee; case studies and interviews with Art in Ad Places, Public Ad Campaign, Resistance Is Female, Brandalism, and Special Patrol Group; and photography from Luna Park and Jordan Seiler. | Advertising Shits In Your Head by Vyvian Raoul, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
