Painted Pigeons In Venice

Painted Pigeons In Venice

You would probably rub your eyes once or twice if you saw a bright pink or green pigeon whizzing by – but if this happens while you’re in Venice, Italy, stay cool: it’s fine, it’s art.

In order to change the perception of pigeons being ‘the rats of the sky’, Berlin-based artists Julian Charriere and Julius von Bismarck decided to paint the feathered fellas in various vivid colors. Without harming the pigeons, the artist duo spray-painted them with a specially created booth hoping that the hostility would be replaced by camera shutter clicks.

It was a part of the art project called “Some pigeons are more equal than others” during the 2012 Venice Biennale, so some of the colored pigeons might still be lingering around there.

Pedestrian Crossing in China Turns Pedestrian Footsteps Into Leaves

Pedestrian Crossing in China Turns Pedestrian Footsteps Into Leaves

In order to demonstrate how choosing walking over driving actually helps the environment, Jody Xiong from DDB China, in cooperation with the China Environmental Protection Foundation, put together a very impressive outside installation on the the pedestrian crossings in China.

Massive 12.6-metre-long and 7-metre-wide white canvases with drawings of bare trees were unfolded on the pedestrian crossings in 15 different cities of China. On both sides of the sidewalk they put huge sponge cushions soaked in green environmentally-friendly paint. Every time a person crossed the street, the paint got on his/her shoes turning their footsteps into leaves. That way the creators were sending a message, that the more you walk, the greener the trees will be. Literally!

Almost 4 million people were involved in creating 132 trees. Now that’s efficient environmental education!
