Sharpie Interactive Advertising

By Chungaiz | Published: January 15, 2009

Interactive billboards that let you tag or graffiti using a sharpie marker. Choose colours, write a message and leave a (semi?) permanent mark on the side of the bus stop. Sure it advertises the versatility of a sharpie pen, but I’m surprised the council’s havent got up in arms about encouraging tagging in public places… [...]

Interactive Architecture

By Chungaiz | Published: September 2, 2008

I’ve had these great examples of interactive art and building projections in my head for a while now, but thought I should share them with TheScrapBook! The Graffiti Research Lab is an awesome project, not in the least for their two great inventions – Throwies and Laser Tag. You need to a flashplayer enabled browser [...]

Roadsworth: Crossing the Line

By Chungaiz | Published: July 15, 2008

Roadsworth’s story is a compelling one: his street art is genuinely “on the street” and provokes thought about our urban landscape and interaction with it, as well as making us reconsider the extent we rely on signs, signifiers and cars to run our lives. He’s also facing severe punishment (money and jail time) for his [...]

Reverse Graffiti Project

By Chungaiz | Published: June 13, 2008

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video Paul “Moose” Curtis has created a mural in San Francisco by spray cleaning the walls rather than spray cleaning them. Nice idea from PSFK… Hang on a second: this is a direct steal from Ariel’s “Graffiti” work made by Saatchi and Saatchi. Or [...]

Graffiti and Fashion

By Chungaiz | Published: June 4, 2008

So, I’m loving 12oz prophet today, as you can tell. Just read a(nother) great article about the influence that street art and raw talent has had on high fashion. Drip graffiti, as pioneered (as far as I’m aware) by the likes of KR / Krink (check the link for KR on CNN), is what Allen [...]
