What Is ComaConspiracy.com?
ComaConspiracy.com graffiti
What is ComaConspiracy.com? If you go to the website, you find a collection of unusual photos and videos with a running commentary. This is a conspiracy site, or so it seems – one that involves patients mysteriously slipping into comas at The Jefferson Institute.
The photos and videos are leaked information showing what is happening inside, and these are very strange things indeed. The group behind the ComaConspiracy.com website is releasing this information using very underground, secretive tactics.
It is also evident that they have taken to the streets to do a little stencil art – and this is what drew my attention and why I am even making note of this site.
Times Squared Hacked!!
This is the most Anonymous-like video in their collection. It shows a few people in a vehicle in downtown New York City. They flip a switch and instantly the videos in Times Square reveal an image of a woman laying flat with wires suspending her.
ComaConspiracy Video Manifesto
This is a very digitized and edited piece of video.
So, what is ComaConspiracy.com? It is nothing more than a slick marketing campaign to promote a Ridley Scott and Tony Scott mini-series called Coma that will air on the A&E network over labor day weekend.
A medical student discovers that something sinister is going on in her hospital after routine procedures send more than a few seemingly healthy patients into comas on the operating table. The 2-night event premieres Labor Day, 9/3 @ 9/8c.

Spongebob Squarepants Street Art
Without a doubt, this is one of the most interesting pieces of street art based on a painting crew’s error I’ve ever seen. Love this stuff. Not sure who did this, but kudos to them.
Abode of Chaos – Lyon, France
©2010 www.AbodeofChaos.org
The Abode of Chaos has always intrigued me, ever since I saw the first videos and photos from this remarkable location. Started by Thierry Ehrmann, this is an art haven that exemplifies everything chaotic in the world. Every nook, cranny and corner is covered in paints, wheatpastes, stencils, images and art. This is a contemporary museum unlike anything else in the world.
Some may say this is the complete destruction of a once-beautiful property in a gorgeous part of France. Others say this is art, pure and raw. Whichever way you perceive it, the stark contrast is a shining example of the theme of ‘chaos.’
Perhaps one day I will have the opportunity to visit The Abode of Chaos to see this location with my own eyes. It has been added to my bucket-list…
The Abode of Chaos is a building located in Saint-Romain-au-Mont-d’Or, a small town in the vicinity of Lyon, France. It is a living sum of more than 2,500 artworks, performed by many different artists and Thierry Ehrmann, CEO of Groupe Serveur, the holding of art quotation company Artprice.
The artwork is based around the transformation of Ehrmann’s 17th century home into a replica war zone, at contrast with the peaceful village in which it is located.

Shepard Fairey Attacked in Denmark

Shepard Fairey, creator of the Andre the Giant Obey image and the more recent “Hope” poster for Barack Obama’s 2010 presidential run, was attacked in Copenhagen while installing a commissioned piece.
When graffiti artist Shepard Fairey turned his talents to US politics, his reward was international acclaim and a letter of thanks from Barack Obama. When he employed a similar tactic in Denmark, however, the response proved altogether less edifying.
Last weekend, Fairey – creator of the famous “Hope” poster that came to encapsulate Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign – was beaten up after the opening of his exhibition at a Copenhagen gallery.
Earlier this month he was involved with a controversial mural that has enraged leftwing anarchists throughout the city.
