Amanda Eicher and I have launched a new project with the Anti-Advertising Agency called PeopleProducts123.com. The project reconnects labor and products through improved packaging which features images and stories about the workers who make them. This improved packaging is then placed in stores by people like you. Check out PeopleProducts123.com for more information.
PeopleProducts123.com was developed in the Eybeam OpenLab

The Anti-Advertising Agency and PeopleProducts123 were discussed in an article in SF State Journalism Department’s [X]Press Maagzine. The story is a bit more theatrical then I present myself, but it is called the Revolution Issue!
PeopleProducts123 reconnects labor and products through improved packaging which features images and stories about the workers who make them. This improved packaging is placed in stores using a technique called shopdropping, the opposite of shoplifting, in which items are clandestinely left in retail environments.

I’ve been making drawings for friends. Accepting a drawing means they get something to put on the wall, but also commit to the ramifications of owning the drawing. In this case, honesty.
