Overpass Light Brigade
Overpass Light Brigade (OLB) is an activist collaborative public art project based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and organized by American artists Lane Hall and Lisa Moline and photographer Joe Brusky.[17][18][19][20] Appearances have also included picketing with striking Palermo's Pizza workers,[3] a pedestrian bridge to the Milwaukee Art Museum,[1] an event with Nuns on the Bus,[21] and vigils mourning the 2012 Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting[5][22][23][24] and the Boston Marathon Bombing.[9] For the artists, their work with the Overpass Light Brigade is a "demonstration of citizen engagement... a Situationist paradigm of performativity within the contested and liminal zones of public space"[28] and a navigation of the tactics of visibility.A founder of the artistic and political movement Situationist International, he sought, through the construction of "situations," to create multiple strategies for reclaiming an individual's self-determination from the sedative effects of ubiquitous spectacle.[2][35][non-primary source needed][36] Hall emphasizes the importance for groups to consider how a collection of lighted letters can be recombined; to document the action through quality (night-time) photographs, videos, and blog posts; and to use social media to amplify the reach of the message.[4][48][49][50][51] Also in 2013, Planned Parenthood, with 371 Productions and documentary filmmaker Brad Lichtenstein, created the "Be Visible" campaign, with a video highlighting women's stories and featuring the Overpass Light Brigade.
