Ji Lee, creator of the Bubble Project, which allowed passerby to alter and respond to advertising billboards, has gone digital – well, sort of. His newest initiative, the Abstractor, turns video billboards into a pulsating, coloured line of “public art” by simply blocking out 99 per cent of the image with black, opaque boards. “All TV programs and commercials look beautiful through the Abstractor,” says Lee’s website. Bonus: it’s nondestructive and simple. Could it even make the weather forecasts and news headlines on your local subway platform more beautiful? Guess you’ll have to try it for yourself and see.

If he unleashed that thing on Dundas Square it would be amazing.
Don’t forget all the OneStop Network boards in the TTC stations. My spine is tingling.
