Newspaper Propaganda by la flaneuse

January 29th, 2007 8:47 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Insert flyers promoting your group's ideology into all copies of the San Francisco Chronicle in one newspaper dispenser. Take all the newspapers and leave them in a public place where they can be taken for free by all interested parties.

Propaganda, cheap grad student style: Printed the simple flyers at school for free. Oops. Forgot they limit us to printing just three copies of a file. So I had to change the wording slightly several times to get enough flyers for the leftover Friday New York Times I freed from the student newsbox on my campus. (Just those. Not enough carrying capacity for the USA Todays and Star-Ledgers too.) Limited edition sf0 flyers! Whoo hoo!

On Sunday, I left the papers/flyers in the (public university) campus center lounge area, at the town's train station, in the waiting area at Penn Station in NYC, on the train (public transit), and on benches in the outdoor free viewing area for MoMA's limited-time public art installation, sleepwalkers.

The flyers were simple: the BARTpa logo above this:

This complimentary three-day-old
newspaper is brought to you by:

http://bartpa.sf0.org/

Did your time pass any slower reading old news? Faster?
Do you look out the window enough?
How is your life shown in these pages?
What does it look-sound-smell like outside right now?
What do you want your world to be like two days from now?
In two decades?

This is your invitation to discover.

Revolutionary urbanists will not limit their concern to the circulation of things and of human beings trapped in a world of things. They will try to break these topological chains, paving the way with their experiments for a human journey through authentic life. - Guy Debord

Look at all the free papers!

These Friday papers were still left on Sunday. The school doesn't get weekend papers delivered, just weekday ones. So Friday papers sit for a few days.

"Ding!" as they say. Also, good work putting some BartPA spin on this task!

Thanks!
