Why Can’t Billboards Be Forests?
We look at billboards and see urban blight, the constant commercialization of our visual field. Artist Stephen Glassman looks at billboards and sees suspended bamboo gardens. He’s launched a Kickstarter campaign for UrbanAir, a prototype project to retrofit one billboard and develop plans to take the project worldwide. They need to raise $100,000 by December 11, 2012.
Watch Stephen’s video below, then visit his Kickstarter page to get more details and contribute to the transformation of our cities.

This is totally beautiful . Too look up at a garden and see it in a very unusual space, brings an awe and a beauty that takes the place of a former billboard…. A relief, a breath, a sigh….
