Bigger Phish (2009)
Proposal for illuminated street signs


The signs are blown up from very small 72 dpi screen files of bank logos taken from phishing spam e-mails.
They are printed at the scale they would have to function at as street furniture and installed as illuminated signage.
They are deployed on the street outside a gallery, a private home, a shop etc.
The sign is removed regularly and the logo replaced with another logo.
The apparatus of the sign will be solid and convincing in the urban environment - the logo, however, will barely stand up to a glance.
