There’s no shortage of impressive and elaborate street art these days — and that may be why TOSAY.IT’s simple, text-only posters caught our attention. The loose network of artists has fanned out across Europe, placing signs that carry jarring messages like “Every new moment disappears forever,” “All of your actions will certainly create our future,” and even that Marshall McLuhan gem, “The medium is the message.” As they write at Behance, “The main idea of the project is to explore text, streets & internet as an artistic medium, to broadcast actual ideas that are usually ignored by mass media, or to comment on the issues that seem important to put up by the author of the text.” Page through some of our favorite TOSAY.IT posters, hung in dramatic locations from Italy to the Netherlands, after the jump, and visit their website to learn more.

But art also could not follow the rules and had to leave museums for streets. Hanged on the wall of Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice, Italy
