Opportunity as Imposition

response to  andrewprice's post Digital Billboard Assault

Hey, nice comment. And yeah, this isn't too much different from every other assault on/commodification of public space (point taken re: Golden Arches).

But just because popular spatial resistance won't acquiesce to new technology or persistent scrubbing, that doesn't mean we should all acquiesce to the commodification of public space.

The Cultural Revolution in China was an "opportunity for resistance" also. But was clearly a bummer.
