Sticker art
From Free net encyclopedia
Sticker art is a form of street art in which the message is conveyed by stickers. Sticker art is most noticeable in well-trafficked urban areas. Stickers may promote a political agenda (such as the anti-war and anti-George W. Bush stickers below), comment on a policy or issue (such as the MIT sticker below), or comprise an avant-garde art campaign (see This Is A Heavy Product and Obey Giant).
Sticker art is popular with teenagers and within the skateboarding subculture, due mostly to ready availability of supplies. Sometimes, unintentional sticker art can occur, with unconventional discards of free stickers, for example free stickers from voting booths, retail stickers, United States Postal Service labels, and stickers acquired from school drug-awareness programs. Sticker art is considered a subcategory of postmodern art.
