These signs are spotted in the streets of Manhattan, Miami, Los Angeles, Detroit, Philadelphia and Williamsburg USA. They are made by TrustoCorp, but who the people are behind this name is unknown. Very clever, some are hardhitting, others are hilarious. At least it will give passers something to think about.

THE INFLUENCERS
Festival of media action and radical entertainment

February 4-5-6, 2010
Center of Contemporary Culture Barcelona, Spain
http://theinfluencers.org

Featuring: The Yes Men, ZEVS, James Acord, Donkijote, Black Label Bike Club, Joan Leandre Retroyou, Critical Art Ensemble, IOCOSE

The Influencers is an annual cult festival held in Barcelona, Spain, at the CCCB and in various improbable locations around the city. Created and directed by Eva and Franco Mattes aka 0100101110101101.ORG and Bani, The Influencers promotes controversial forms of art and guerrilla communication, presenting visionary projects that play with popular global culture, infiltrate the mass media and transform everyday things into outlandish spectacles. The Influencers sometimes achieve the impossible.

Please come all and bring your friends!

...and if you still don't have enough of us:

We think this project by Toronto street artist Posterchild is pretty damn clever. He's taken the empty flyer boxes littering the city streets and turned them into planters.

Posterchild explains:

I've always been amazed by the state of most flyerboxes. More often that not, they are empty. Some haven't been filled in years. Yet, there they are: everywhere in the city- at every intersection. Taking up valuable sidewalk space. Some are supposed to offer free news and culture print publications that make revenue from ads, some are supposed to offer free junk-mail type publications, with the expectation that someone will stop and take one completely beyond me. A rare few are supposed to offer a free publication of a certain political or religious leaning- probably bankrolled by whatever church or group can finance the publication of that message. For whatever reason, a great many of them offer nothing but an empty box.

But that offers a great opportunity for some people!

Graffiti artists love them as a platform for their stickers and tags. People with trash but nowhere to put it love them as a makeshift receptacle for garbage.

I tried to think of better ways than "Garbage Can" to re-imagine the interior spaces of these flyerboxes- better ways to make use of the whole box- not just the exterior walls.

This is what I came up with. I think it's pretty great, if I do say so myself. The boxes makes a perfect platform for planters- and with them you can guerrilla garden almost anywhere in the inhospitable concrete city! Best of all, it leaves the sides open for writers and artists.

...and with this "impending collapse of print media"? You may just see these appearing in old, abandoned Newspaper boxes.

You might also enjoy this similar project, also from Toronto, Poster Pocket Plants. Advertising posters are converted into planters.

Is Toronto the guerrilla gardening capital of the world?

Since 2005 MobMov or 'Mobile Movie' has been reviving drive in cinema by rallying groups worldwide to create their own mobile screenings right from their car.  Claiming to be the first group to lead the drive in revival, MobMov groups now operate in over 32 nations and have around 13,199 members.  Using car batteries and video projectors the group has posted a very straight forward tutorial on creating your own guerrilla screening on their website.  All that's needed is a projector, inverter, DVD player, FM transmitter, a car with a large, flat windshield and a viewing area.

Guerrilla Drive-Ins

The advert appears to show a female model’s breasts smashing through the glass of the bus shelter, thanks to the support of her push-up bra.

The poster â€" which seems at first sight to be a victim of vandalism rather than a marketing stunt - has appeared at sites in Germany.

Last year the company scored a viral Internet hit with a risqué spoof of the cult Cadbury's drumming gorilla advert.

The Wonderbra version featured the enthusiastic and energetic musical efforts of a scantily-clad brunette whose upper-body stability was only maintained thanks to her brassière.

The advert, which had the catchline "Two cups full of joy", was never broadcast on television.

Wonderbra's other recent advertising gimmicks include painting a yellow strip in front of genuine safety lines at Singapore underground stations, to show the safe distance at which Wonderbra wearers will have to stand from the trains.
