Art Takes Times Square[edit]
In 2012, See.me teamed up with chashama and the Times Square Alliance to host 'Art Takes Times Square'. The competition's grand prize winner, Vicki DaSilva, had her chosen work, 'Jasmine/Never Sorry (for Ai Weiwei)' (2011)[5] shown on several Times Square billboards from the unveiling event on June 18 through to July 31, 2012.[6]
Around 5000 competition participants had their work shown on specially erected digital billboards at the June 18th event. In total, 35,000 artists entered the competition. Several news outlets including the New York Times, ABC and NY1 covered the event.[3][7][8][9][10]
Hermu,
Note 5000 had some sort of reward, the company involved folks. But how many won a cash prize? very few probably. Then 30,000 people got nothing. Since people
can say whatever they want, a few folks take the internet to denounce the company.
