Delete! in Vienna
Neubaugasse in Vienna

Imagine the city with all the advertizing and signs removed! That’s what they are doing right now in one street in Vienna. The project is called Delete!
Christoph Steinbrener and Rainer Dempf are covering every sign and advert in Vienna’s Neubaugasse with yellow plastic/paper. It started on 6 June and will last until 20 June.
Maybe someone should invite them to the Edinburgh Festival? I rather like the idea of Princes Street with all the signs covered up in dark blue.

Fabulous story and pictures. Although a lefty I have rabid right wing views on trade, but the one thing I can't help but dislike intensely is advertising. I wouldn't ever seek to ban it, but I really can't believe it works, despite the money that is spent on it surely most people aren't gullible enough to believe it? Mmm, guess I answered my own question there :-(

Thanks. I'm going to put up some photos of Edinburgh with all the signs removed. I am thinking of using Saltire blue!
