Wooster Collective found out who’s responsible for those great Plastic Bag Animals: Joshua Allen Harris.
Here are 2 videos: the Air Bear (known from the previous pictures) and a whole Air Zoo.
Even better than the pictures!

2 months ago, the pictures and videos by Lichtfaktor did their rounds through the internet. Well it got them a small advertising job for Sky’s Star Wars vs Star Trek weekend, Sky showed all 6 Star Wars and 10 Star Trek movies in one weekend. Lichtfaktor did this nice video, just the music is anoying.
I know that the pictures of lichtfaktor got picked up by every blog by now. But I just found this video by his partner in legal crime, jiar.grafikfiti. I know that the image quality isn’t that good, but the soundtrack is by Aphex Twin!
I’ve been a fan of Hektor, a portable Spray-paint Output Device for laptop computers, for years now. I’m not going to explain how it works and what it does, just check the website. Hektor just had an exhibition at Riviera in Brooklyn, New York, and they now sell prints for $150. You can see some picture of the exhibition at flickr.
I’m still waiting for some advertising campaign to pick up this ‘technology’ … . Or does anyone have an example? And no, ‘Bikes Against Bush‘ doesn’t count.
People who work in advertising are just copycats … like we didn’t knew that before … They just pick up some idea somewhere else, mostly in art, and put in on a brand. This time it’s 2 new commercials for Sprint, an US mobile carrier, they used the light grafitti concept which we saw here and here ages ago ;-)
Anyway, the visual effect is great.
Yesterday we went to see Backjumps - The Live Issue III exhibition at Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien in Berlin. Backjumps is a Berlin magazine about urban communication and aesthetic and since 2003 they organize a biennial exhibition. I have some more pictures at my flickr set, but unfortunately the battery of my camera went dead …
So if you’re around, go an visit it for free till August 19th.
Josh Nimoy got together with the GRL at OFFF 2007 and coded a new brush for their L.A.S.E.R. Tag. He also made it available to us as a desktop tool to play around with. So you can download the GRL Graffiti Brush here.
28 Millimètres - portrait d’une génération, is a photography project by JR and Ladj Ly, which they did in the suburbs of Paris during the riots in 2005.
After his first guerrilla exhibition on the walls of Montfermeil’s ghetto’s (93/370) in 2004, JR settled down right in the heart of the district collaborating with Ladj Ly, inhabitant of the ghetto, actor and director from the collective, Kourtrajmé.
Armed with a 28 mm lens, JR shot full frame portraits of young people from this neighbourhood and the nearby district of The Forestière (Clichy-sous-Bois, 93). This no frills, straightforward technique allowed them to get very close to this generation.
Interviewing them, without restrictions, on the recent events of November 2005. The first portraits were illegally pasted on the east walls of Paris, a district that was once run-down, but has now become a residency for the bourgeois bohemian, who are shielded from the flames.
