Have a look at these pictures from Maskerade<\/a>. This is an example of happy street art on a high level! And why is street art so important? Because our cities are selling out our public spaces, and with this our room for individual expression, to huge companies like Clear Channel<\/a>. Clear Channel and others alike earn their huge profits by filling our vision with huge commercial posters, polluting our visual environment, and monopolizing the right to use visual statements as a means of expression. If you try to express an oppinion by putting up a poster, painting grafitti or using other artistic ways of expression in a public space you will mostly end up with a huge fine.
\nLuckily there are movements engaging in the work against visual pollution through power structures, and one of these are Adbusters<\/a>. You can learn more about their work and how to engage by visiting their site. You can learn more about their work and how to engage by visiting their site. So with this entry I hope to encourage all of you to go out and claim back our public space!<\/p>\n

Se disse bildene fra Maskerade <\/a>. Dette er gatekunst og aktivisme p\u00e5 h\u00f8yt niv\u00e5! Og hvorfor er gatekunst viktig? Jo fordi myndighetene i v\u00e5re byer selger v\u00e5re offentlige rom til h\u00f8ystbydende, og med det hindres v\u00e5re muligheter til \u00e5 uttykke oss. Selskaper som Clear Channel<\/a> profitterer enormt p\u00e5 \u00e5 fylle v\u00e5r synsfelt med enorme reklameplakater, forurenser med dette v\u00e5rt visuelle milj\u00f8 og monopoliserer retten til \u00e5 bruke det visuelle som utrykksmiddel. Hvis du pr\u00f8ver \u00e5 utrykke en mening eller et budskap ved \u00e5 klistre opp en plakat, lage graffiti eller ved andre utrykk i det offentlige rom vil du mest sannsynlig ende opp med en diger bot. Heldigvis er det flere bevegelser som arbeider mot visuell forurensing gjennom kommersielle maktstrukturer, en av disse er Adbusters<\/a>. For \u00e5 finne ut av hva de driver med kan du bare klikke p\u00e5 navnet, det ser dessverre ut som om norske Adbusters er uvirksom for \u00f8yeblikket s\u00e5 derfor har jeg linket til den internasjonale hovedsiden. Her i Norge var det utrolig lite motstand og oppmerksomhet i det Clear Channel gjennomf\u00f8rte sine \u201craid\u201d og inngikk kontrakter med de fleste store byene her til lands. Bare Bergen endte opp med \u00e5 nekte Clear Channel tilgang til byens visuelle milj\u00f8<\/a>. Og her <\/a>kan dere se hvordan Clear Channel responderte p\u00e5 at noen hadde mot nok til \u00e5 g\u00e5 i mot dem. Hurra for Bergen sier n\u00e5 jeg, og mens vi venter p\u00e5 at Clear Channels kontrakter skal g\u00e5 ut i de andre byene (noe som kan ta opptil 15 \u00e5r enkelte steder) oppfordrer jeg alle til \u00e5 g\u00e5 ut og ta v\u00e5rt offentlige rom tilbake!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
