The most recent object, designated for public space, is YAPPER, created by Tomasz Bajer together with Jerzy Kosalka and Andrzej Dudek-Dürer in the scope of the international project Urban Potentials. It is a multmedial vehicle, reminding of a huge loudspeaker, that would be used during the totalitarian propaganda, then commonly known as szczekaczka (yapper), whose task now is to fill the empty space in European cities with soothing music and multimedial presentation. Yapper reflects the independent, mobile gallery, travelling alternative cinema, with own source of power and loudspeakers.
 
Specially convened group of artists, hiding behind a meaningful symbol of V3, has decided to interfere with the urban space. The attack of V3 is aimed at empty squares, gaps between the buildings and commercial arcades in the city centre. The group consists of highly-qualified experts in metaphysical therapy (Andrzej Dudek-Dürer), therapy through jokes (Jerzy Kosalka) and the therapy through work (Tomasz Bajer).
V3 was a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public space of Dresden, do something unusual for a period of time, and then quickly
disperse.
 
According to the Urban Dictionary YAPPER means:
- somebody who is constanly talking and knows more then he should
know, and tells everyone he is associated with all that he knows.
- a person who talks a lot and tells secrets or lies.
