One always hopes that their art project "blows up" but certainly not like this...
There was a big terrorist scare in Boston and New York today as
Interference Inc deployed their guerilla advertising campaign for "Aqua
Teen Hunger Force", on Turner Broadcasting's Cartoon Network. The
campaign used small led devices placed in and around urban locations in
New York and Boston. The alien looking LED devices were though to be
bombs by citizens of each city. New York police began removing them
shortly after they were deployed early Wednesday morning. Boston
police went a step further and arrested InterferenceInc.com employee
and Mass.. Collage of art student Peter Berdvosky. Police charged
Berdvosky under a recently enacted statute making it a crime to place a
hoax device that results in panic. The seemingly harmless electronic
screens are produced by Graphite Research Labs NYC . The group are alumni of The Eyebeam OpenLab Program.
Of course what would a media event be with out YouTube coverage.
Shortly after the campaign was deployed a video was posted on said
website . |
