Not For Commercial Use (NFCU) is an ongoing idea/collaboration between Generation Press & Build, which started life as a discussion about the designer/printer relationship. ‘Paste’ is a series of unbranded posters, designed specifically to be pasted up anonymously around London. A post-card set was also produced (again unbranded) and sent out to create interest around the project and around the mystery posters.

Dates: July 1, 3, 8, 10, 15, 19, 22, 6PM
Location: Eyebeam, 540 W. 21st St., NYC

Tuesday, July 1: Illegal Billboard Workshop with IllegalSigns.ca and The Anti-Advertising Agency. Presenter: Eyebeam senior fellow Steve Lambert.

Activists estimate that half the billboards in New York City are illegal. Worth millions in profit, outdoor advertising has become a corporate black market that doesn’t stop short of breaking the law to get your attention. On July 1, the Anti-Advertising Agency and Rami Tabello of IllegalSigns.ca will lead a free workshop on how to identify illegal advertising and get it taken down. Canadian activist group IllegalSigns.ca is responsible for the removal of more than over 100 illegal billboards in Toronto. Rami Tabello will reveal how the billboard industry gets away with breaking the law and will offer suggestions on what New Yorkers can do to stop it locally. To sign up, email: workshop AT antiadvertisingagency DOT com

Thursday, July 3: Eyebeam senior fellows Steve Lambert and Jeff Crouse will lead a workshop on A Basic Sentence Markup Language (ABSML)—an artist statement generator—and a new email spam-inspired project to Keep an Army Recruiter Busy.

Tuesday, July 8: New Tools for Collaborative Practice. Presenters: Eyebeam senior fellow Steve Lambert; Mushon Zer Aviv and Dan Pfeiffer; NOR_/D: Eyebeam Production Lab fellow Addie Wagenknecht with Stefan Hechenberger.

BIGger

Architect David Fisher’s Dubai skyscraper, 80 continually moving floors, independent of one another - the building will never appear the same twice. Is the transient form in design the start of a new movement ? Will people expect the same one-off qualities from high-end design, as they do in hand made crafts?

just like what we think the New Museum building should do.

 Many have argued that online video will satisfy the world’s advertisers in ways that traditional television never could. With online video, the pundits proclaim, channels are infinite, and you can choose whatever you like whenever you want it. That means advertisers know exactly what you’re interested in - and they can serve you the perfect ad.

But at the moment, this is little more than a pipe dream. So says YouTube.

Speaking at Supernova2008, a business-centric tech conference that kicked off this afternoon within shouting distance of San Francisco Bay, YouTube’s Jordan Hoffner pointed out that many of today’s advertisers aren’t all that interested in the so-called fragmented audience.
