Hack the banners with art!

Do you want to get rid of those banners that spoil your browser? What about replacing the advertising by a curated art-image?

That is exactly what Add-Art offers. This free FireFox add-on not only blocks advertising on webpages but replaces the banners with curated artworks. Chris Ware, the Fountain by Marcel Duchamp, or the Electric Chair by Andy Warhol (on the left) are displayed instead of advertisings.

The image database is enriched every two weeks with 5-8 artists selected by emerging and established curators. The selection of curators is made through recommendations, word of mouth and solicitations to the Add-Art site.

As said on the Add-Art website “with the overwhelming popularity of adblockers, if Add-Art were to attract 5% of existing users, the numbers would be in the hundreds of thousands. Add-Art can bring contemporary art to the desktops of all types of people at home and in their workplace - all over the world” (http://www.add-art.org/).
