Controlling a Poerful Medium

But still can't get these powerful images of
Sao Paulo's ban on billobards
out of my mind. It's like an urban-scale mute control.
Which also brings to mind
Steve Mann's
"visionary" solution to what he termed the "theft of solitude" such as
offensive advertising encroaching on personal private space
The Reality Mediator. Rather than a mute, it is a kind ot TiVo control, which is
a Visual filter to regain control of what is rightfully ours (our personal attention), implemented within an embodiment of the WearCam invention
and
what the wearer of the Reality Mediator sees
A much more calming image, which is more conducive to the task at hand.
