During an average day, how many adverts do you see? How many corporate logos hit you as you’re walking down the high street? How many brands are you wearing right now?

There is a growing, concerted, worldwide effort to take back public space from the corporations. We want cannedrevolution.com to become a medium to highlight some of the campaigns going on to subvert corporate messages that increasingly usurp every spare urban square inch.
We are dismayed at the encroaching tactics by big corporates that ensure adherance by legions of nine-year-olds to brands beyond all else.

Consumerism in the 1990s and the Naughties has become all infectious, with an alarming proportion of the populace too docile to even pick up on the corporate hypnotism.

What can we do? Alert those who are brand slaves to the reality of modern manufacturing whereby the sneakers they are wearing brought Wei Li, who put them together in the first place, all of a handful of US cents ­ that, my friends, is the great myth or cloak with brands ­ they glorify the product and obfuscate their increasingly deplorable origins.

We can change this brand adherence culture. Let’s start by showing the brands in their true corporate light ­ stock price obsessed scrooges who don’t give a damn about working conditions so long as the corporate colours and tick shapes are absolutely correct on their branded footwear.

Start submitting examples of anti-corporate artwork. Made up a new Anti-Ad? Altered a billboard? Converted a slogan or logo? We provide a great soapbox to voice displeasure at the worrying subservience to branding. Help the revolution by sending in your adbusting artwork to our forum and find out if you’re our monthly anti-corporate artist winner of a Canned Revolution T-shirt.
