Graffiti Technology

A few weeks ago a video began circulating on the Internet of a new iPhone application called Dust tag, which records any tag that is made in the gadget's screen, storing the applied pressure based on the time of the movement and then generates a 3D file to see the tag from any angle.

Along with this project was a storage base for all tags that are made with such application, called 000000book , here you can see all the tags that users have uploaded Dust Tag.

What is interesting is to see how little by little the project caused a great interest, which gave birth to another project in the hands of Golan Levin and Jeremy Ficca, who created a tool to translate the 000000book tags and so on could play an industrial robot, have called "Robotagger" and this is the result

It is strange to see how everyday graffiti movement expands more and more, breaking many barriers, it is up to accepted and established by people who previously would not have imagined doing

Technology and street art

In just a few years technology has grown by leaps and bounds, she has also grown along the street art movement worldwide, every day we are surprised by new ideas of projects that are something more than just facilities, and carry a message and purpose, and try to give something extra to motivate the public to interact with the same.

TXTual Healing is a project that began in 2006 to give people a different way to express their ideas and thoughts, presented as an installation in public spaces where thought bubbles are projected, in which viewers can write whatever they want through text messages, today we can follow their various facilities due to its blog: TXTual Healing , an interesting project to follow

The interaction on the web is something we see every day, is what actually moves the network and makes every day to grow even more, Street Art Locator, is a project that took into Google Maps to give a different twist and can be summarized simply: a project to locate the street art around the world, from graffiti to installations, which is quite innovative that gives a twist to this form to gain fame on the Web can upload up to 5 photos per location or video also the place, take the test is quite simple and provide instruction on the art of his country: Street Art Locator .

Nintendo Wii + Wii = Montana Spray Cans

A few months ago as I recall, I commented on the existence of a new invention for the Wii , the famous console Nintendo , which was a mixture of technology and graffiti, so I gave myself the task of finding such an invention for running into with the Wii Spray .

The Wii Spray is basically a tool that connects to the control console to digital graffiti created with a bit of Adobe Flash, server and technology WiiiFlash standard Wii, and all started as an experiment in "what would happen if create a tool through which everyone could fly freely leave your imagination to create something ", virtually painting in the air.

What I like the Wii Spray, is that maintained the original shape of a can incorporating a non-intrusive control of the Wii and always maintaining the look and feel of the console, besides that in this second prototype has the ability detect the distance to which the "can" is on the wall, so it could achieve almost the same effect as a real wall, in addition to having more than 128 Tips and a variety of colors

Recently Montana Cans joined this project to further develop this innovative fabrication and in the future to expand its utility to create even a lot more interesting things with this

After seeing this I remembered that some years ago, in 2007, but I'm wrong, the school of Design Factory International German advertising use the famous rhino brand, Ecko Unltd. , for a short campaign that used a similar technology cell phones, using bluetooth as one could paint whatever he wanted with his cellphone in the advertising panels that were in the street that were part of the campaign, I leave you with an image that best illustrates

Daft Punk + Kanye West

Something that has always been a great source of inspiration for many things is the music, Daft Punk has influenced me in my designs for a long time, and most recently Kanye West has done well, but not only with his music, so have your videos, in which they always try to present an innovative proposal of its kind and not do the typical and common video that everyone else does.

As you know the current president of the United States, Barack Obama , has been one of the most movement in the network has generated in recent months, many artists created non-profit campaigns and only did so to make a change, this will speak in the future and something posts back

But that's all this music and Obama, it makes a few weeks ago I saw on youtube a video that caught my attention as the much-loved mixed vinyl toys with a remix of Aerodynamic by Daft Punk, when I saw surprised me is but See yourself

Also recently saw the new video from Kanye West, "Welcome To Heartbreak", which introduces a new trend in visual effects, called glitch , at first I thought the video was bad but then I noticed that this "distortion" of the image was on purpose and be completely amazed and hooked on both the track and with great visual effects

So I hope they serve as some inspiration both videos, but I also want to know which are those that inspire you in your day to day:)

Graphic inyurfeiz and back Paranoia

To begin with the right foot the week, a couple of magazines to see and read and pass a good time entertainment

After several months of absence, finally returning two magazines are known Guatemalan art and design both nationally and internationally, while Graphic Paranoia seeks to be most of all a kind of exhibition of work inyurfeiz mix is more oriented texts images resulting in a great series of articles ranging from graffiti to photography.

Both magazines are always open to comments and contributions from readers, so this time I could not work in Graphic Paranoia, but if I had the opportunity to write a couple of articles for inyurfeiz, so if I leave interest them the links to both magazines are a must

Lego-style bombing

The graffiti has evolved in a way that is surprising, fusing with the technology have created many interesting proposals, but there are other proposals that I think will go out of their way and end up doing meaningless things like the case today.

A few days ago posted on the Wooster Collective a couple of videos where it looks like with Legos created two scenes of bombing trains, if the idea seems good, even manages to be funny, but I think it's silly, most of all for its implementation, I mean that with a little care could have done better.

The quality of the lyrics is really bad, definitely could have been a better job with only improve the lyrics, because otherwise quite pleased me most of all paint cans but better judge for yourself and realize that the letters will remain very similar to the videos, hopefully for the next best
