Information Removal by Darren

February 16th, 2006 9:35 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Remove information from a place that has suffers from an overabundance information.

The way I completed this task was obviously simple to do but still a meaningful statement for me.. Within the first week of buying my car, I covered all the Ford advertising on the inside and outside with black tape as well as fliping around the license plate covers so they were just black. When the car company pays me to advertise for them, or when they produce a machine that is more aligned with my own ethics well then maybe I'll look at it differently but until then, Ill be covering up the logos. I like that the back of my car now only says one thing> Focus. Now thats something I feel like I can advertise!

I realize this was a pretty simple way to show an Information Removal, I plan to add more documented removals to this task shortly. Stay tuned....

Excellent. Logos are probably the single greatest source of overabundance of information.

That car is now a car +15 points, making it the highest scoring car in SF.

Information Removal #2

Adding to my quest for Information Removal (and allowing me to participate here with more reckless abandon) I have requested and succeeded in having my last name removed from my profile. One small step for me, One giant leap for those of us who do not wish to appear on Google searches. Thank you to those involved.

Nice!

I appreciate this type of removal. I mean, wtf... how did it become that we are what our labels tell us we are? Especially with cars, they are just big pieces of metal that get us places. Now I am off to tape over all the cars in the garage at work... good times.

Accursed license covers!

I wholly empathize with the distaste for license plate covers. I took my car in for some work once and the place put a cover on my rear license plate without asking or informing me! It took me a day or two to realize it was there. It's currently only half there, as I've broken the relevant, more data-heavy left half off.
