The Database of Corporate Commands. A project of the Institute for Extremely Small Things, part of the ikatun collective of artists and technologists. [via languagelog]
from the About page:
The forces of control in our society are deployed at the scale of the micro-, the nano-, the infinitely small. Through sophisticated demographic technologies, marketing and IT departments have succeeded in inventing and colonizing a realm that did not previously exist: the "pre-individual" or "dividual".

Sweet! I've been intrigued by these for a while, they just always seemed bizarre to me for some reason. They're usually very powerful/general messages, but worded in such a way as to make them generally unnoticed (except for their "feeeling" I presume), even though they can often be seen to command the most absurd things when taken in conjunction with the products they're used to market.
