| Don't
Worry |
 |

So
the infamous agnostic
ad campaign has finally gone live
on two Barcelona buses, and you've
gotta feel just a little sorry for the
faithful. There's probably no Santa,
Tooth Fairy, or Easter Bunny either, but
nobody's cruel enough to taunt their
believers with massive ads. |
|
It's
hard to take issue with the second part
of the campaign's message, though - 'now
stop worrying and enjoy your life'. Seems
reasonable. And it's not dissimilar to
the philosophy behind Marc
Serra's new Happy People installation
at the Galería H2O in Grácia.
A two-staged project about happiness,
how we project it, and how it interacts
with technology, the first stage is currently
open for active participation. To take
part, simply drop by the gallery for a
snap in the photo booth.
|
|
Put
on your happiest face and your mugshot
could be among those exhibited in
the second phase of the project.
Can't think of much to smile about
for 2009? Come on, show a little
faith.
Happy
People - participate
until Jan 17, view from Jan 22.
