			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I noticed that TIME <a href="http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1730645,00.html?cnn=yes" title="Graffiti 2.0: Gone by Morning">covered</a> the laser graffiti artists of the Graffiti Research Lab this week.  Nearly a year ago, I covered the phenomenon of <a href="http://http://www.naturalsearchblog.com/archives/2007/06/11/laser-projected-graffiti-ads-on-buildings/" title="Laser-Projected Graffiti Ads on Buildings">guerrilla marketing via laser light</a> images &#8220;drawn&#8221; on the sides of buildings at night.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/silvery/541254231/" title="Laser Message on Building, Barcelona by Si1very, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1159/541254231_d00ba128e3_m.jpg" alt="Laser Message on Building, Barcelona" border="0" height="180" width="240" /></a></p>
<p>Having this covered in a mainstream rag like TIME is probably nearly enough to make the concept <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_shark" title="Wikipedia article: Jumping the Shark">jump the shark</a>, and the novelty element and guerrilla marketing value could be virtually annihilated by familiarity.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not really complaining so much as noting the effect &#8212; and noting that the promotion value of the medium could become rapidly eroded when it&#8217;s too common. The novelty and amusement factor could give way to annoyance if laser displayed images on buildings became frequent. When a methodology hits mainstream, it&#8217;s no longer &#8220;guerrilla&#8221;. <img src='http://www.naturalsearchblog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /></p>
