BP Oil Plugin
At JESS3, we are heavily inspired by things like the digital activism around the Iranian Election (tagging and green avatars abounded). Wanting to do something impactful and memorable, the team at JESS3 brainstormed a number of solutions. Our final idea was to make a browser plugin which dripped oil from your browser when you searched "BP" and also turned photos relating to the oil spill to grey-scale. We also have been working with organizations like Citizen Gulf and the National Wildlife Foundation to generate donations and awareness for their Deepwater-focused efforts.
