Description
After numerous collaborations with OX, the artist Jordan Seiler has offered you the opportunity to discuss his artistic and anti-advertising practice. Advocating civil disobedience as a form of resistance to the omnipresence of sales imagery, Jordan Seiler invited you to formulate concrete proposals through collective discussions and reflections.
With his international vision, Jordan Seiler proposed a time of discussion around the contract that the City of Besançon has signed with the billboard companies, to better understand the ins and outs of these hundreds of billboards that we pass in front of every day.

Jordan Seiler
The term artivist could have been invented for him : from New York, this anti-ad activist develops a radical graphic practice, creates tools to counter physical or digital advertising, animates international and local networks and advocates public spaces free of commercial imaging.
