“Graffiti Taxonomy is a graffiti-based study in which characters are isolated from a collection of graffiti tags that were photographed in the same geographic region.”

I built a tag visualizer for all of the graffiti photos taken for the study. The visualizer show the relationships between the letters within the tags. You can investigate the letter down to its location in the original photograph. The project was a blast to work on. The exhibit looks amazing, congratulations Evan!

“A HREF=WINDOW” the thesis for Evan Roth grad student at Parsons School of Design.

“Friday night I did some more digital projection tests. These videos don’t do justice to how fun it was to see this stuff projected 6 stories high, but if you squint your eyes and use your imagination you can start to get an idea of what it looked like.”

I came across this today it is a must see, great fun. The power of technology and the power of creativity. “The King Has” put up pieces of wood that said to text message your secrets to a number. Oh course a everyone did so. The secrets were then printed on wood and posted. “The King Has”, sat back and watched the reactions to their work.

“The King Has” reminded me of a awesome lecture that I went to in New York. Even Roth a part of ni9e.com posted binary portraits of the New York council-men and posted them all of New York. The project was titled “All City Council”. Take a look at the site for more info.
