1. In our overall day-to-day, there are plenty of things we don't notice simply because we're so accustomed to seeing them.
Artist Michael Pederson likes to break that up a bit.
2. With his subtle yet eye-catching installations, Pederson likes to catch people off guard by quietly altering their everyday surroundings...
And providing them with a bit of uunexpected entertainment.

“I think we travel through urban space without really seeing it most of the time,” Pederson told CityLab. “I like the idea of interfering with the overly familiar background blur … Ideally with something a passerby might see out of the corner of an eye," Pederson tells deMilked.

3.
4. Most signs don't require you to think much, and are easily understood.
5. Pederson's signs are not "most signs."
6. He likes to consider his work as "urban art," but you could really call it a number of other things.
7. "Experiential art."
8. "Satirical social commentary."
9. Or just call it what it is - "awesomely artistic trolling."
