Personal advert. From Faub.


This is kind of brilliant. I guess it's using / subverting traditional forms of local media to activate a creative mindset and initiate creative collaberation.

What are traditional forms of local media in Wellington??

- Newspapers

The Dom post / capital times. I guess the only way to really access these on a subversive level would be to follow the example and enter adverts into the personals. Is exposure an issue here? Does it matter if these don't get a response or is it simply the act of doing them that makes them worthwhile? This is probably a good place to get into some more field based research, which I have been really slack on.

- Graffiti

An obvious way to engage with 'street artists' but realistically lacks any depth / new idea. I still have my speech bubbles I need to go and post up, but at the moment can't really see how these will produce an insightful result....

- Trademe

Not the easiest media / message board to subvert as its so highly moderated. And not exactly local... could get some interesting results though..

-
Community notice boards.

The only one I know of that actually works is the one in Chafer's New World. I went and checked it out but its fairly mundane. I guess the poster board in Midnight is kinda similair... maybe I need to create my own noticeboard... not sure exactly how this would work but there could be some interesting results..

- Those arty instillations on Courtney place...

Must have to go through council to get work in them, but could be worth a shot. Maybe this is something I could look into next semester to display final pieces... hmm.

- Radio

Def owed some favours by radioactive. and they have a really strong 'community' with them already. Maybe there is something I could do working with Active as a client. They are all about loyalty to underground arts and music in Wellington. + they already appeal to an alternative / creative listenership.

Another thought I have had is to go back to Toi-Poneke this week and instead of trying to create something to counter them, possibly work with them on a more directed / focused project... Need to arrange another interview.

Blogging is helping me figure this out I think. goodo.
