Magnetic Yellow Card, cyclists's interventon, 2004

"This magnet was tossed onto your car by a cyclist who felt that you might have been driving in a way that could have endangered their life. They chose to toss this magnetic note because it can neither damage your automobile, nor affix itself to rubber or glass and will therefore not affect your driving. It serves to warn you. With thoughtful contemplation and reverence for humanity, we can adjust our behavior to allow for all people to live life. This is a yellow card, let’s please not let things get to Red."

Subversive intervention via businesscard-sized magnets, personal edition of 200.

Here is a pdf of the Magnetic Yellow Card. This project is open source, which means that I am supplying everyone with the means to make their own magnets. Feel free to upload this pdf to any magnet-maker of your choice and self-produce as many magnets as you would like.

I chose this company to make my magnets, but I do not endorse them for any particular reason. You can use any company that you choose to reproduce as many magnets as you would like to.
