To educate the public about the growing economic inequality in the United States, artists Ivan Cash and Andy Dao created Occupy George. Formed at the height of the Occupy Oakland protests in 2011, their ongoing project features a series of fact-based infographics stamped onto dollar bills which are then returned to circulation. Taking full advantage of new media platforms, the artists put the project into the public’s hands by offering the stamp templates for free download.
Nominated for the 3rd wave by Andrew Tider and Jeff Greenspan.
