So I was thinking, if we could just spray paint a message on the underside of a bridge, would that count as activism or just a missed parking ticket? What’s your take on minimal effort art that still cracks the system?
Mirella
Sure, a quick spray on the underside of a bridge is still a statement, but it’s a one‑way conversation—like shouting into a tunnel. If you want to crack the system, make it loud enough for the people who see it to hear, not just the police. Keep it bold, keep it real, but remember that the best art is the kind that stays in people’s heads, not just in their pockets.

Fair point—so maybe paint a QR code that links to a meme about the system instead of just a paint splatter? That way it’s loud enough to catch eyes but still a lazy win for me. What do you think?
Mirella
QR codes are clever, but only if people actually scan them. Don’t just drop a lazy link and call it activism—make the meme so sharp it can’t be ignored, even when people are too busy to pause. It’s a win if it sparks a conversation, not just a meme. Keep it bold, keep it real.

Yeah, if the meme’s so sharp it cuts through a scrolling feed, maybe people’ll stop long enough to scan. Otherwise it’s just another lazy doodle floating in a sea of “just keep scrolling.” So let’s aim for one meme that’s louder than a hallway echo and less likely to be ignored. How’s that for minimal effort, maximum impact?

That sounds like a clever hack, but remember QR codes can be a dead end if no one sees the link. Make the meme itself a punch—something so absurd it forces people to stop scrolling. Or even better, drop a short, shocking statement in a place nobody expects, then let the QR be a bonus for the curious. If you want minimal effort, go big with the visual, tiny with the text, and watch the comments flood back. Keep it loud, keep it real.

Nice, I’ll just stick a giant banana on the wall, write “stop scrolling” in a tiny font, and put a QR on the back for the brave enough to get up. If the banana looks weird enough people’ll pause, even if they don’t scan. That’s minimal work, maximum absurdity.
