So I found this awesome firefox plug-in through Steve Lambert's website. He is a designer. He created this plug-in in collaboration with other people with support from the Eyebeam and Rhizome. This plug-in makes it so all the ads that would normally be seen on website are instead replaced with art, new art shows, contemporary artists, and curators.
What an awesome idea. Just another form of media to add into our everyday lives. Another way of customizing our reality. Taking what we take for granted and making it our own. I think this is extremely clever, informative, and smart. It gives us- the viewer who uses the plugin- new information that we want, and it gives promotion to art shows.
According to Steve Lambert's site, "for many, replacing ads with blank space would be enough. AddArt attempts to do something more interesting than just blocking ads - it turns your browser into an art gallery".
