Slutt å Bore i Arktis

Dr. D tackles the notion that advertising, whether official or commercial, is a social pollutant. With a decades-long background as a commercial billboard poster, the artist is well versed in the language and tools of advertising in public space and commonly uses wheat-pasted text and images to create his public interventions. He has "doctored" everything from existing bus shelter advertisement to road signs and large-scale billboards throughout his career. The artist's interventions regularly make minor changes to the existing visual language, catching the viewers off-guard with a disruptive and humorous impact.

For this intervention, created during the 2019 Nuart Festival, the artist asserts a definitive no to the Norwegian government's plans to drill for oil in the Arctic.
