“I was interested in billboards because they carried a certain authority as opposed to graffiti on a wall. A billboard ostensibly required an interface with a large, powerful corporation and its self-preserving censors. I depended on no one knowing I had hijacked the space, using the illusion of corporate sanction to buttress the statement. Of course when it became widely known that it was me doing this, that illusion was deflated but replaced with the idea that free speech was there for the stealing.”
