Visual violence is the answer.

As a street art supporter, I would definitely draw my inspiration from Joshua Allen Harris's work except that I would like to frighten people because I do think that psychological violence is way more impacting than poetry or utopia. You see, I'm much more of a George Orwell than a Thomas Moore. So I would use the devices of art happening and I would spread my action around the world in the biggest capitals on the same day. I would arrange animals' corpses on the streets maybe for instance in Paris, at the feet of the Eiffel Tower. Those corpses would turn out to be fake and made out of silicone but they would be covered with blood and would be supposed to reek of rottenness thanks to synthetic perfume. Eventually, this action that is to be perceived at the same time as an act of eco-terrorism and extreme street art guerilla would certainly create a huge buzz. Those kind of actions should be repeated every month and in the end fake human bodies should replace those of animals.This strategy would endeavour to make the authorities tackle the problem and try to instaur measures to protect us from a dark future.
