An art project by Danish artist Astrid Winsløv Hammer who put up four signs designed as official looking street signs in the city center of Aarhus.
The signs read 'Slap af' (Relax) and 'Skynd dig; (Hurry up).
Unlike most other culture jams, such as the notorious Jagtvej hack, Stress was a fully legitimate intervention carried out in collaboration with the culturally proactive city of Aarhus.

Nice post, I am Danish and had not even heard of this before. But it is a project from 2004, pretty old :)

This reminds me of the 'yield' road signs in Irish speaking parts of Ireland. They actually say "Tóg go bog é", which translates roughly as "take it easy" and is used as a common saying in that respect.
