Steve Lambert and Evan Harper developed AddArt, a AdBlock-like extension for Firefox, which replaces advertising images on web pages with art images from a curated database.



The extension, commissioned by Eyebeam, intends to replace ads and turn ad space into an art gallery, bringing contemporary art to your browser.
