Badboard
billboard that matures in the sun | |
Badboard is printed using two different types of ink.
Over time, strong sunshine bleaches out certain letters and parts of letters to reveal a more strident message.
It's best to view the illustration which should work as a looped gif showing "before" and "after."

[+] Could also be done with heat sensitive ink on a mug etc. Curious that hasn't been done before. |

I have posted (and made) several pieces that display messages which alter over time based attrition or accumulation. |

That's been done to death. I had just such a mug, it advertised a DNA polymerase or something. When you put hot water in it, the image changed in some way to show how much better their product was; I don't remember the details. |

At present, interesting unintended consequences occur from uneven fading/wear in modern building materials interacting with climate disruption. This idea is 'tended' consequences, like planting a tree whose fruit you will never taste. |
|
| |
I'd invest in a company making construction materials that fade out to reveal community-building public service messages like 'Be Kind To Each Other', or 'If You Are Reading This, Thank Your Teacher'. |

Slow-motion thought disruption [+] |
|
| |
There's no need to keep it so similar. In your example the yellow paint over the horizontal lines in "fuck" have faded, no? Then the whole message and picture can chance arbitrarily. |
|
| |
Pre-treat areas (could be text, could be image) so that they decompose quickly and make voids in the material. As it weathers and ages the ‘underlying’ image appears. |
|
| |
I’ve posted several ideas re the process of gradual image production/eradication - see link to one of them. It's something I'm interest in and have made other work about. |
|
| |
Termites are the perfect sculptors for slow production and unknowable results. Baited areas or softer/harder material reveal the ‘easter egg.’ They got into a balsa box and left high-contrast furrows. I like the edible resist for the bird/Hendron project. |
|
| |
If you angle the board and keep the perches horizontal you could make the image in bird shit. |
