Eller: You\u2019re mostly known for using familiar images into your work which without a second look are dead ringers for real advertisements. For example your recent Sesame Street campaign brought attention to climate change. Can you tell me a little bit about that?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Winston Tseng: Well, the idea for that campaign came from all the really bleak headlines and stories we see everyday about the climate. We\u2019re constantly inundated, and it felt like we\u2019re getting a bit numb to it. So I thought, \u201cOkay, how do I communicate this sense of urgency in a way that\u2019ll grab people&#8217;s attention?\u201d Framing it as if we\u2019re going to teach little kids about the apocalypse or mass extinction, I thought was both funny and alarming.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-1-of-8.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[158248]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-158261\" src=\"https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-1-of-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1035\" height=\"1574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-1-of-8.jpg 1035w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-1-of-8-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-1-of-8-673x1024.jpg 673w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-1-of-8-768x1168.jpg 768w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-1-of-8-1010x1536.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-1-of-8-526x800.jpg 526w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1035px) 100vw, 1035px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>Matthew A.

I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;re aware of it, they reported my posts to Instagram to have them taken down. But I didn\u2019t hear directly from them, which I appreciate.<\/p>\n<p><i>Matthew A. Eller: And to be clear, you have nothing against Sesame Street? You were just using them as a conduit to get your point across about climate change?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Winston Tseng: Exactly, they&#8217;re just a vehicle. A beloved brand that people recognize. I felt the contradiction of using Sesame Street to deliver this kind of doomsday messaging would be really effective.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Matthew A.

Society always has \u201crules\u201d about what\u2019s appropriate for children and what isn\u2019t. And I was playing with these norms, not because I actually want to teach children about the end of the world, but to provoke the adults.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>What wasn\u2019t my intention at all was for it to be seen so politically, that was a surprise. My timing happened to coincide with the culture wars of what schools should teach, conservatives targeting Sesame Street, and liberals supposedly \u201cgrooming\u201d kids. So it was a bit of a perfect storm. I think that\u2019s why it went viral and got so much attention, but those interpretations weren\u2019t part of my thought process.<\/p>\n<p class='content-img-wrap'><a href=\"https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-5-of-10.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[158248]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-158253 full-width\" src=\"https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-5-of-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-5-of-10.jpg 2500w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-5-of-10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-5-of-10-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-5-of-10-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-5-of-10-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-5-of-10-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-5-of-10-800x534.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>Matthew A.

Growing up I was obsessed with skating and the artwork on boards. It was my dream job, I was super lucky to get it, until one day it was not my dream job\u2026 and I went from that to doing more straightforward, branding and marketing creative work.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how my work evolved into what it is today.

Let\u2019s start with Coke and Pepsi.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Winston Tseng: The idea behind this campaign was pretty simple: the fact is that Coke and Pepsi are known to be the two largest plastic polluting corporations in the world. That\u2019s fucked up, and I thought it would be fun to bring some attention to it.<\/p>\n<p><i>Matthew A. Eller: So once again to be clear before you finish. It&#8217;s not the product in the bottles that&#8217;s the issue here, you&#8217;re trying to bring attention to the bottles themselves. It&#8217;s not that you hate Coke or Pepsi?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Winston Tseng: Not at all, I\u2019ve had my fair share of Coke and Pepsi in my life. My friend Gavin is actually the one that told me about it, I had no idea and was surprised to learn about it. Like you said, it&#8217;s nothing against the actual drinks, they just probably don&#8217;t need to be producing this much plastic.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class='content-img-wrap'><a href=\"https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-6-of-10.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[158248]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-158254 full-width\" src=\"https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-6-of-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-6-of-10.jpg 2500w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-6-of-10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-6-of-10-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-6-of-10-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-6-of-10-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-6-of-10-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-6-of-10-800x534.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>Matthew A. Eller: Right. So again, just because people see your satirical ads and then they right away think that you obviously don&#8217;t like the corporation itself. But in this case it\u2019s all about the packaging. Similarly, you concurrently are doing another similar campaign about Burger King. So what are they doing wrong?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Winston Tseng: Well, as I was researching about Coke and Pepsi, I learned about how terrible McDonald&#8217;s and Burger King packaging is too. In those cardboard boxes, the fry containers, the wrappers, they have these \u201cforever chemicals\u201d that leach into foods and it&#8217;s really bad for our health and the environment in general. What these corporations are getting away with just seems so crazy, there\u2019s no real accountability.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s disturbing, but to be honest a lot of it for me is just the creative fun in playing off the history of the cola wars and the burger wars and the rivalries between these companies. The thought of seeing a Coke ad talking shit about Pepsi, and vice versa, is just funny to me. So I hope people see it through that lens of satire and not just pure anger or preachiness. Because that&#8217;s definitely not how I\u2019m trying to come across in my work.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class='content-img-wrap'><a href=\"https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-4-of-10.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[158248]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-158252 full-width\" src=\"https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-4-of-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-4-of-10.jpg 2500w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-4-of-10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-4-of-10-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-4-of-10-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-4-of-10-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-4-of-10-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/streetartnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WinstonInterviewPics-4-of-10-800x534.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>Matthew A.
