A gimmick, at best tangentially related to the content. But also a harbinger.

Delicious.

How about a cool, delicious Smirnoff Ice™, John Anderton?

Includes, inter many alia, notes on OSCAR (Outdoor Site Classification and Audience Research) system (1985) providing "gross audience estimates for individual outdoor poster sites/visibility-adjusted audience estimates for each poster, based on visits to each of the available 67,000 poster sites to record physical characteristics...and vehicle and pedestrian counts at a representative sample of 600 sites."

Gorgeous ad: one century in two minutes.

"The current relationship between street light and its environment is static and one-dimensional. Similarly, the user/service relationship is characterised by a lack of interaction and imagination. By releasing street lights from their rigid position, they are given the freedom and flexibility to interact with their surroundings and users in new ways." Primarily by bouncing ads off their retinae.

I fully endorse campaigns of sabotage and vandalism where such things are concerned.

Nevermind the shitty product. Dig the ascendant ("zere is no such sing as") New Wave vibe.

"We have been infiltrated by the thing everyone saw coming but no one really wants - ubiquitous computing ads."

Foreign Office's impeccable media and interface imaginings for "Children of Men." Only Britain soldiers on...
