Flickr Interlude

Enjoy Bailout Package, originally uploaded by enjoybanking1.

I realized after reading Brian’s comment about Supreme’s wheatpasting that I’d actually seen the poster ads he was talking about — in the Murketing Flickr pool.

Taking a closer look, what these pictures are really documenting is the stickers  over the posters: “Enjoy Bailout Package,” and so on.  The profile of the Flickr contributor leads to this cryptic site, Enjoybanking.com, which describes itself as “a civic minded art and educational campaign aimed at restoring public public confidence in the finanical system, the economy, and the American dream.” There’s also a Twitter feed.

I’m not sure I really get it. But, you know, make of it all what you will.
