Add-Art is a free application for Firefox browsers that replaces Web ads with contemporary art. The art shows are updated every two weeks and feature contemporary artists and curators. For many, replacing ads with blank space would be enough. Add-Art attempts to do something more interesting than just blocking ads - it turns your browser into an art gallery. Every time you visit the New York Times online or check the weather you’ll also see a spattering of images by a young contemporary artist.
To have it, you need to install ad-art and use Firefox. I tried to download it, but it did not work with Firefox 3.
One more thing, even this is an anti-advertising project, I think it will increase the efficiency of banner advertisements. Normally, many people find them disturbing, however, this time people might think that they will see an artwork and give their attention to it. However, instead of it, they will come across with with a real banner ad which will be tricky for them.
