Public Art Intervention Project

For my public art intervention project, I have decided to confront the issue of drunk driving. So many people refuse to take responsibility when drinking and think that it’s ok to drive after going to a party, going to the clubs, or just having a few drinks with friends. In all reality, they are putting themselves and other at risk when they decide to take the road.

With this project, I have printed out labels with statistics on drunk driving, including mortality rates and effects of driving under the influence of alcohol. I took these labels into a local supermarket and put them on the fronts of bottles of liquor. I am hoping that the result will be those who go to buy alcohol with see the bottles that I have put the labels on and think about what they plan to do with the bottle they buy and also think about how responsible they will choose to be. I have entitles this project “THINK”.

I actually enjoyed doing this project. I felt a little uncomfortable inside the store taking pictures and putting the labels on the bottle, but I feel good about what I did. I hope that it might make at least one person think a little better, and hopefully many people will notice what I did.
