Judging from the HAVIDOL show …..we’d all want to be taking it - the Drug Companies would want to do more of these kinds of art events.
Here’s what Boing Boing’s David Pescovitz had to say about Drug Marketing as Art:
From the marketing material:
“Everyone should be able to live life to its fullest. I used to believe I did. I felt confident in myself, and my relationships. I exercised regularly. I slept quietly through every night, and awoke each morning feeling refreshed and ready to start a new day. I now know I had a treatable disorder…”
From the artist’s statement:
HAVIDOL taps into our collective desire and expectation that there is always room for improvement, while walking the line between poking fun at ourselves and wondering how to obtain a prescription. The marketing message leaves us with the sense that we are never good enough, nor have enough. Are we a society of hypochondriacs, or are we biologically built and genetically urged to out-compete our peers and former selves? Cooper’s works on exhibition comment on our temperamental relationship to western medicine, built upon the idea of a malfunctioning body or mind, and the yearning to believe everyday life can be remedied.

This PARODY of pharmaceutical ads is an excellent example of marketing strageties.
They appeal to our senses. They tell us we need a pill to fix everything. They will even use normal human responses and make people think they need medication.
Love the disclaimers, Did you guys see the hoodie and T-shirt for sale? I'd buy it! hee-hee :hi5:
