Imagine you're driving across congested Los Angeles streets and look up at yet another billboard. But instead of seeing an ad looming overhead, you spot a bamboo garden rustling in the breeze. It might just brighten your morning commute.
That's the idea behind Stephen Glassman's Urban Air.
The L.A.-based artist hopes to replace the advertisements on some billboards around the city with wi-fi-enabled planters containing living bamboo trees, water misters and climate-monitoring technology. Glassman is trying to raise $100,000 for the project on Kickstarter. If he can do it, he says the first green billboard will go up in 2013.
