Billboard hacking
open-in-new
<p>Billboard hacking or billboard hijacking is the practice of altering a billboard without the consent of the owner. It may involve physically pasting new media over the existing image, or hacking into the system used to control electronic <a href="/facts/Billboard/tkTbxlwC">billboard</a> displays. The aim is to replace the programmed video with a different video or image. The replaced media may be displayed for various reasons, including <a href="/facts/Culture_jamming/jJjHUmyf">culture jamming</a>, shock value, promotion, activism, political propaganda, or simply to amuse viewers. </p>
