GIF-ITI

This is one of the best things we’ve seen in a while, and takes street art to another dimension. Created by artist (and designer) INSA, it’s a reflection of how the Internet has made street art so much more accessible. Yes, there is plenty of impressive street art in cities around the world, but a lot of them we wouldn’t usually get to see in person, and heck, some of it isn’t that unusual. This is where GIF-iti comes in. Not only does it bring worldwide art to your computer screen, seeing it that way actually makes it better.

The Golden State, governed by the last of the ageing action heroes of my youth. Where else can one’s ‘grand performances’ of the silver screen be traded straight across for political office? Or where fading stars can chauffeur their maids/mistresses up and down the Strip in solar-powered military-grade SUVs?

Google Graffiti

Google’s ‘Street View’ may be useful at times, but the argument that it invades our privacy, especially those accidentally captured walking their dog, is forever valid. We prefer the “street ghosts” version by NYC based, Italian multimedia artist Paolo Cirio. Cirio has taken those blurred individuals, blown up their images into life-size posters and placed them around New York, London and Berlin, in exactly the same place they were captured by Google, turning them into graffiti street art.
