Anti-Advertising Agency Hosts “Shopdropping” Workshop

The anti-advertising agency are at it again. They’re hosting a daylong workshop on Feb 10th, 2007 for Banksy wannabes, and other culture-jammers at Eyebeam HQ.

"Shopdropping (the opposite of shoplifting) is a tactic used by artists
and activists to clandestinely place objects in retail stores.’Dropped’ objects are usually versions of consumer products altered or
recreated to detourn the retail experience. Shopdropping is a fun and
easy form of culture jamming, gently subverting dominant cultural forms
to create new meanings."
