A proposal to set up a large digital display on Sony Park, to which visitors can freely upload messages and artworks created on tablet devices installed on site. A crowdsourcing app based on Subtract Billboard (Phase 1 Competition entry) determines "unpopular" advertisements in the region, which are replaced with the most popular artworks uploaded to the Park's display.

The length of the striped bar represents the number of people who shared the opinion.
FOR (A): I like how the proposal enables the individual act of sketching to have urban-scale effects
Rebuttal: Will people drawing sketches be conscious that their acts may have urban-scale repercussions? If not, I expect negative consequences
FOR (B): It's a feasible idea
FOR (C): I like how the proposal seamlessly merges low-tech (drawing) with high-tech
FOR (D): This is a good idea, pushes people to be more creative
AGAINST (A): I don't think this will have much effect on the city at large
AGAINST (B): There's not much difference between this and the Phase 1 Competition idea (Digital Drawing Wall) it's based on
AGAINST (C): I don't see anything really special with the idea
AGAINST (D): Who will choose the "popular" sketches? I see this becoming another tool for corporate marketing
Rebuttal: Choices can be made democratically, for example through public voting on social media
