This is simply one of the most exciting projects I have come across recently. My liking for this amazing technology is probably the result of a personality going geek sometimes.
Graffiti Analysis is an extensive ongoing study in the motion of graffiti. Custom software designed for graffiti writers creates visualizations of the often unseen gestures involved in the creation of a tag. Motion data is recorded, analyzed and archived as Graffiti Markup Language (.gml) files, a specifically formatted XML file designed to be a common open structure for archiving gestural graffiti motion data. GML files are saved in an open online database, 000000book.com, where writers can share analytical representations of their hand styles.
The festive season is upon which has and always will inspire artistic creativity.
While British street artist Moose just created a pretty incredible Christmas scene with only a toothbrush and moss (!) on South Bank wall Moose – see more of Moose aka Paul Curtis Christmas scene, there are many holiday themed street and graffiti artist creations.
Scouring outdoors and the web, ten recent and some less so graffiti or street art Christmas-related awesomeness caught our little eyes, see below.

I have not been felling so excited like this for a while. Steady, I am talking here about the concept of sound painting. I know what you are thinking right now – “How does it work?”. Read on.
Right, the gear you need first – a camera with a flash, a loudspeaker unit, plastic sheeting, electrical tape, paint (ideally poster paint), and a laser trigger (if you happen to have one).
So what is it really? “captured images of specific moments when paint is propelled into the air by sonic vibrations.” <- that sounds good to me – literally.
The pictures below are the work of Martin Kilmas, German born artist, who spent some time to get the right shots, the moments that are truly moving. I am sure you will agree?
Hands on – head over to www.thecreatorproject.com blog where all the steps are break apart. But first have a look below and see what you could achieve.
What is really remarkable with this concept is what you actually get – A spontaneous and ephemere somewhat abstract visual of whatever tune you have decided to blast out. Awesome.
The Project is an art competition that will allow emerging talents to gain exposure in one of East London’s cultural hotspots. The twelve-month project includes three commissions launched by three live events, hosted in conjunction with the start of Rich Mix’s new seasons.
