Sticker art
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sticker art (also known as sticker bombing, slap tagging, and sticker tagging) is a form of street art in which an image or message is publicly displayed using stickers. These stickers may promote a political agenda, comment on a policy or issue, or comprise an avantgarde art campaign. Sticker art is considered a subcategory of postmodern art.
This form of street art allows graffiti tags to instantly be placed anywhere accessible, with a much lower risk of apprehension and less damage to the target surface than is possible in other types of street art.
Many different types of stickers are used to create sticker art. The stickers that are used to create sticker art are those that can be inexpensively purchased such, as "hello my name is" name tags, and those that are given away for free, like USPS and DHL mailing labels.
Also, using self-adhesive pre-perforated sticker sheets sticker artists can easily design and print thousands of stickers at low cost using just a printer connected to a personal computer.
