Contemporary art and design have become a way for artists and designers to challenge the the modern ways, this is referred to as "Postmodernism". This image caught my attention due to the emphasis placed on stickers. These stickers are being placed throughout the city and are therefore creating a sense of layering. The image also uses both text and image to give new meaning. Stickers vary from images, to text, or both and in this case they use both. Another thing that can be shown with this image are hybridity and representin'. When it comes to hybridity the stickers are being used once again using different media and expressing it by placing them on random places where they are not expected to be. Representin' can also be shown due the normal everyday objects with the exception that they now have stickers placed on them. Overall, stickers have gone from something fun as children to something that has gained much meaning over time being placed throughout everyday places to create a new awarness of the so called modern ways.
