I was just doing a bit of research for dissertation when I came across an artist called Zevs. I've never heard of him (he is anonymous like Banksy, but french) but his work is pretty interesting and his website is clever! He used google as the layout, I wonder if he had to pay them to use it.
Zevs is known for "liquidating logos", e.g. below.
He also cut out a model from a big Lavazza billboard in Berlin, and wrote above it "visual kidnapping - pay now!" His own work coined the term "visual kidnapping"- when someone steals an image from a poster.
How great is this website, the whole idea is so visually interesting.
