Guerilla Public Service\"

An artist disguised as a state employee takes the direct approach to correcting guide signs of the California freeway system. Manufacturing and installing a duplicate route shield of “Interstate 5” and “North” to aid motorists on the 110 Pasadena freeway, in downtown Los Angeles, to indicate an exit two miles ahead. These signs were placed on the overhead structure August 5, 2001 without the knowledge of the city, state or federal government and at the time of this release, November 7, 2001, they are still in place. This is a auto documentation of functional, conceptual, public and performance art, taken to the realm of civic duty.

I thought that the government had done it, because it really cleared up the fact that you stay on the 110 to get to the 5, rather than go on the 101\/5 south.\r\n\r\nThis fact is like \"secret knowledge\" until you actually look at a map, or drive up the 110.\r\n\r\nThen again, maybe that is intentional, so that you'll head east toward the 10 east, and then get the 5 freeway north from there. The 110 to 5 ramp is really small, and there's often a traffic jam to get onto the 5. (Once upon a time, the 101 north of Downtown wasn't a huge traffic jam.)\r\n\r\nAnyway, thanks to the artist for improving the information architecture of the freeway.\r\n\r\nIf people fix roadsigns illegally: THAT'S ANARCHY!!!","author":"can-archy","parent_id":15297,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2002-03-05 04:11:06","modified":"2002-03-05 04:28:54","fileurl":""}]}
