END LA. MURAL MORATORIUM PETITION



Uploaded by saberonecom on Sep 21, 2011

Los Angeles municipal code defines murals as signs and the permitting process constitutes an effective ban on this art. Art in the public space is necessary for a healthy visual environment, a counter balance to gray walls and endless advertising. Los Angeles was once the 'Mural Capital of the World' and this city should claim that title again!


Murals are not signs and art is not a crime!


Tell Mayor Villagaigosa and the L.A. City Attorney's office to end the mural moratorium now.

Sign the petition on change.org and #EndMuralMoratorium

PARK(ing) Project: Retaking the Streets for the People


Park(ing)
Valuable urban real estate, reprogrammed.


One of the more critical issues facing outdoor urban human habitat is the dearth of space for humans to rest, relax, or just do nothing. For example, more than 70% of San Francisco’s downtown outdoor space is dedicated to the private vehicle, while only a fraction of that space is allocated to the public realm.


Paying the meter of a parking space enables one to rent precious downtown real estate. What is the range of possible occupancy activities for this short-term lease? PARK(ing) is an investigation into reprogramming a typical unit of private vehicular space by leasing a metered parking spot for public recreational activity.

Police can search your phone without a warrent!


DIGITAL FREEDOM ALERT:

Increasingly, the mobile devices we carry around are portals into our personal and professional lives, full of photos, our e-mails and banking information.


It’d be absurdly unconstitutional to give the police carte blanche to come search through your home and your home computer and your online accounts without a warrant if they arrested you at a protest or for any other reason. Just because we now carry a portal to that information around with us in our pockets does not mean that the rights of people to be secure in their papers and possessions should be left in the 20th century.
