After removing all the advertisements from a Web page, Add-Art replaces them with a spattering of images from an up-and-coming artist, who is vetted by a team of curators. Every two weeks, there’s a new “show” or series of artwork presented through the extension. Previous artists featured include an M.I.T. Media Lab graduate, Ayah Bdeir, who showed a series of photographs depicting a woman undergoing a Transportation Security Administration search and a cheeky group show that imagined the future of online advertising.

   Wonderful idea.
   BUT
   visual problems:
   showing yellow on a white background with this page — can’t see it well

   Don’t want any spam.
   I setup a special address:
   hrutie-artzilla@yahoo.com

   I forwarded the article from NYT that includes you to some friends in Boston area.
   Good luck.

   Wanted to install add-art-package 0.8.2, but it wasn’t possible, because it is not compatible
   with Firefox 3.5.2.
   What shall I do? Or is there a version for Firefox 3.5.2?
   Thanks

    Yes, please make this outstanding plugin compatible with all firefox versions up to 3.7. The early adapters will spread the message of art not ad!

    Unfortunately Firefox wasn’t able to install the lovely ad-on since it is not compatible with Firefox 3.5.5.
    Please change that!

    This was such a great idea…so poorly executed.

    At first I imagined that the art would be nice to look at. Possibly complementing the screens I’m already looking at. Showing me something classic, or interesting, or meaningful. Instead the so-called “curator” is choosing random stupid photos, disturbing images, sometimes flashing or moving, and even an entire show of FAKE ADS. What is the F***ing point you guys? Your program produces an unwelcome distraction from what I’m trying to do at the time. I keep thinking “Oh no, Ad-Blocker is broken, this can’t possibly be on purpose”. Blech. I’m going back to plain old white.

    Kudos to the technical team, it downloads, adds the art, etc. just fine.
