heavy trash

my class mate presented a "artivism" case study on this group today. i hope i can interview someone from their group for thesis.

Heavy Trash is an anonymous arts organization of architects, artists, and urban planners. Heavy Trash creates large, disposable art objects that draw community and media attention to specific urban issues. By explaining a particular urban problem and suggesting a solution, Heavy Trash seeks to provoke dialogue among citizens.

check out their manifesto and all the comments pro/con heavy trash and pro/con gated communities...which isn't the only issue they "act on" but...its amazing how intense people get with anonymous comments. clearly people love it or HATE it...
