Amazing subway video graffiti project

Wow. I wouldn’t have the guts to try something like that. I’d be afraid the cops would shoot me.
Projecting in a subway station would solve one of the big problems of video graffit, which is the expense of projectors bright enough to project visible images during the day. Having never […]

Portable video projector from HP

One of the things on my to-do list is build a digital projector, but this portable projector from HP looks pretty cool. Doubt it’s all that bright, though.

Yellow Arrows

Yellow Tags combines stickering and geo-tagging. Users place a yellow-arrow sticker somewhere with a unique number on it and write an entry about the place they left the stick. Then people can SMS yellowtag.org with the unique number on the sticker to receive the message. So far it’s only available in NYC, but they […]

Blue Jacking

Air graffiti

The Nokia 3220 has a "wave messaging feature" Abe calls "air graffiti." As a commentor on Smart Mobs pointed out, if you don't want to wait for or spend money on this phone, you could always pick up a…

Another geo-tagging service

Thoughts about spam

On occasion I've thought about the potential of using "spam" as an art form… graffiti is un-authorized use of space for art, so why not use spam as e-mail graffiti? And of course, there are various political chainletters that periodically…

Idea: video art project

Thus far I've not thought much about what to actually do with video graffiti. As far as I'm concerned, the medium is the message. I've been more concerned with figuring out how to do it, assuming content will follow (hell,…
