Andre has a posse

When I was a student at Brown in Providence, there was another student at the Rhode Island School of Design who created what has to be one of the most (in)famous art sociology projects of all times. While my information is limited to hearsay, speculation and urban myth, my understanding is he was testing the power of art by placing stickers all over Providence.

Over 15 years later, his project continues to have legs. I have spotted the stickers across the United States, and rejoiced recently when I spotted one in the middle of Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. Andre certainly does have a big posse.
