Graffiti + Politics + Advertising + ECards = Send A Message
January 23rd, 2008
At Send A Message , a collaboration between Dutch advertising professionals and creative Palestinian youth, web goers can purchase “real world tags” on the 620 Kilometer fence separating Palestinians from Israel. For a mere 30 Euros, users can elect to have their personal messages spray painted on the fence. Purchasers are given 3 digital photos of the completed work for personal usage.
The revenue from the tagging goes to build new schools, soccer fields, youth centers and other humanitarian projects in the area.
Be it a proposal for a lost love, a web url, or a humorous message this is a great project that brings the world closer to this complex situation in a peaceful and non threatening way.
