Street art primarily uses the meme; an idea, thought, or
belief that can spread like a virus

Memes can entertain, educate, and manipulate

Street Art can utilize popular memes and distort them
Meme: Liberated or tortured by technology?
A simple word can alter the message to enlighten or entertain

JR recently won the 2011 TED prize for his art. JR used his prize money to create the Inside Out Project. His TED wish is to use art to change the world. He challenges you to use black and white portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world.
You can go to the website insideoutproject.com to participate in this movement. Upload a black and white portrait of you or a friend, receive a poster in the mail, and make your world a little more beautiful.
The people who truly deface our neighborhoods are the companies that scrawl giant slogans across buildings and buses
trying to make us feel inadequate unless we buy their stuff.
They expect to be able to shout their message in your face from every
available surface but you’re never allowed to answer back.
Well, they started the fight and the wall is the weapon of choice to hit them back.
