WiiSpray............!!![video]

WiiSpray Teaser from Martin Lihs on Vimeo.

'The foundational basis for the project goes well beyond replacing real graffiti as an art form. Moreover, WiiSpray
is to be seen as an interface to give graffiti a new virtual level surpassing tactile boundaries of the tangible world.

Within the system, there is a symbiosis of digital and analog as well as overcoming restrictions of distance and time. An advantage of the system proves to possess a user-friendly design simple enough for children to use. The virtual canvas allows the user to decide what is saved and what is discarded, all the while keeping the surrounding area clean and free of what otherwise would be a messy form of media.

The actual hardware tool of the artist – the spraying can – remains constant in its shape and
function and is a catalyst for this software supporting innovative computer interaction. The self-explanatory program requires no previous knowledge or reference of a user’s manual. This software allows users to make the game all their own, offering a wide
range of colors, interchangable caps, along with the possibility to incorporate the user’s personal photos, graphics, and backgrounds into the setting.

The WiiSpray provides a framework of different possibilities yet without any specifications on how to use it. Every user decides for themselves what his or her creative expressions might be.'

Graffiti Archeology.....!!??!!

_GrafArc is a project created to document the progression of graffiti in different cities. The site is broken down in to various hotspot that get alot of tag traffic. when new shots are taken, the spots are updated with additional layers. its broken down chronologically so you can see the organic progression a spot goes through.the site flexes a cool flash interface that makes everythinorganized and easy to navigate. i think this a really creative project and if graf wasnt dead here i would take part in it. definately worth checking.

_Banksy Got Balls.......!

"Banksy pulled off an audacious stunt to produce what is believed to be his biggest work yet in central London.

The secretive graffiti artist managed to erect three storeys of scaffolding behind a security fence despite being watched by a CCTV camera.

Then, during darkness and hidden behind a sheet of polythene, he painted this comment on 'Big Brother' society....."

_Major shoutout to FARO




_If you ever walked the streets of downtown Manhattan, you probably seen these mummy characters on the walls. They are the work of a graf artist by the name of Faro. Ive always been interested in graffiti , and took notice to it growing up in nyc. Artist that threw up characters always stood out more to me for some reason. Above is a sample of his work. as u can see, dude gets up like crazy, and has crazy steez. i'm actually trying to track down one of his paintings, to hang on my wall/gallery.
