Interactions

A person is seen watching a time lapse video of the canvas being painted. Photo by Alex Barber.

One of the most interesting things I have found about placing my work on the street is the interactions of the public with the piece. Whether it's posing for a photo, to pray or even going out of their ways to repair pieces that were defaced (someone actually did this), I am constantly humbled that something that I created could effect someone in a way that would make them want to do these things.

I have tried to carry these same ideas/ interactions into the gallery in different ways. The most common way is by using QR codes that allow viewers to use smart phones to pull up photos of the pieces on the street or even linking to videos of the pieces being created. I love that I can use technology in a way that truly makes the experience of viewing one of my pieces multisensory and interactive.

Please vote for me! HUGO RED Clashes.

Friends, I need your help! I was invited by Hugo Boss to enter one of my videos into the HUGO RED Clashes contest on Youtube. The site plays 2 videos side by side and allows you to vote on your favorite. If you can take a minute out of your day to vote for my "Geisha" painting I would really appreciate it. The site seems a bit buggy but I was able to load it up in Firefox. Try that if you run into any problems. Thanks! http://www.youtube.com/user/HUGOBOSSTV/Specials

Explode with happy, man! - Music video shoot

Explode with happy, man! - Music video shoot, originally uploaded by 2:12.

I haven't been active on the street lately, but I haven't been sleeping either. I just wrapped up work for this music video that's supposed to take place in the 70s. This girl bike gang rides around and pastes the posters in several different locations throughout the video. It was cool to see my work being put up by others, I just got to sit back and watch.
