Only if you live across the street from the front or back of one. The rest of the world sees them only as part of the blur, unless they’re iconic (Angelique) sensationalist (God Hates…) or lighted in a particularizing way (Yahoo). We only pay attention to billboards when they’re disrupted (or disruptive). These, showcased in the article, aren’t putting art out there for everyone in a performance of benign generosity, rather they’re softening the sight lines for a brief time. They’re closer to clouds than works of art, but clouds that pay rent to be there.
