Exhibition Information/Summary: Ads for People: Selling Ethics in the Digital World explores the effects of the Internet on advertising. Inspired by viral trends and mass political uprisings enabled by the Internet, Ads for People asks if, with our increased digital voice, we can change the advertising industry by encouraging it to work with our desires rather than try to form them for us.
