Everything is OK’s barricade tape has made the rounds, so it’s likely you’re already familiar with the yellow vinyl boasting its ironic, Orwellian message telling you not to worry. What’s new is that they’ve gathered up the last of the barricade tape, and paired it with some stickers and other goodies for deployment as activist kits.
Their website describes Everything is OK as:
a kind of social design experiment in subversive positivism. It explores the relationship between medium and message, challenges accepted modes of communication, and provides everyday citizens with tools for social commentary. We read “Everything is OK” as both an affirmative phrase and a condemning indictment of mediocrity — a tension that is amplified when delivered through the cautionary medium of barricade tape.
200 of the kits are available, for $16 plus shipping.
