I know I have been really lazy that I haven’t been writing on my blog, but I hope you’ll findI have done a lot of stuff since then. I am currently teaching assistant in cultural anthropology and communication and working as a Public Relations department Coordinator. How does that match? I don’t know, it seems it does.

As a coordinator at the Public Relations department at the University of Bucharest, we have done some things, and here is the presentation trailer of three blogs that we started and that we are writing at constantly:

I hope you’ll enjoy it, especially that we really worked our asses on them.

1. Politics

Political symbols in a really original reappropriation.

“You make the system”. From the same category.

Political figures / characters.

“Everything comes from you”. A more general message, but the essence is the same.

2. Irony & critique of civic attitudes.

“New! You can buy it also in installments! Happiness…”

“Necessary protection against stupidity”

Open interpretation. ))

3. Advertising stencils. Viral communication.

Now, what about these ones?

What kind of a message is this? And there’s a new communication function: stencils militate for something, they encode a bad practice that has to be changed. Again, the anonymity in which the “urban artist” wraps himself gives him the quality that the clown from royal court had in Medieval times or the musician of little towns (troubadours) had, and that is to represent the voice of the “people”, to militate for something that has be changed. In a very ironical way.

In this case it’s about re-invention and re-design of Self. Why this message in Bucharest or, largely, in Romania? It militates against boredom and uniformity. Of who? Of people, of minds, of attitudes. Therefore this message aims civic attitude; against acceptance without rationality. Or at least this is how I see it.

And here you have a stencil with only aesthetic function:
