Urban Art

This urban artwork is by "Chewie" is brilliant - it mixes real world environment with cartoon characters. Even though the style itself is average it works well with the urban canvas. I enjoy the concept of using the city building walls to artistically express yourself without resorting to the typical graffiti mess. These unique examples of artists using the environment around them inspires my own project. bring some simple and unexpected joy to people's everyday.

Dead Drops

A new project I have discover which involves a sense of cyber community is Dead Drops. USB sticks cemented into walls around New York city. Allowing anyone with a laptop can use it and share files, as an anonymous, offline, peer to peer file-sharing network in public space. By ‘injecting’ USB flash drives into walls, buildings and curbs accessable to anybody in public space. 

I have been looking also at data visualisation examples from the internet. these interesting images help organise and display information in unique and constructive manner. i wonder if this could be applied to my website for displaying the individuals' profile info and work

I feel that the this approach might be best for interactivity on touch screen phones

Examples of existing interactive art galleries online

I began researching the current online media galle

ries and I was extremely disapp

ointed at the results. most of them were aimed at children or highly abstract. there is no real interactively and deviantart, youtube and CG Society are the best examples of internet communities. people enjoy that anyone can post their work and perhaps receive critique on their work but my main issue wwith these websites is the lack of exclusiveness. the amount of work which is sub standard or just wrong irritates me. SO I have resorted to inspiration from futuristic based movies for innovative interaction for touch phones and data visualisa

The Underbelly Project

Deep in the belly of New York City lies a ghost town of a subway station, where the trains don't run, but street art thrives. For the past 18 months, 103 artists have been covertly sneaking into the space to create and display their work on the dank walls of the pit.

Combining street art with spelunking, The Underbelly Project is a real collection of works that exists four stories beneath the surface of the City. But good luck finding it.

Street artists Workhorse and PAC curated the underground exhibit in an abandoned subway station, but the exact location won't be released to the public, for fear of legal repercussions. (If caught trespassing on or defacing MTA property, they could be arrested and fined.)

Serial Cut Studio

These images are from Serial Cut Studio and I find their work inspiring because it is imaginative and original in concept. Not to mention the images are high quality and excellent. They have many well known brand clients and work for a large scope of industries. Also not all their work is digital. they play about with other methods and mediums/materials

My Question Thus Far

"Does choosing a digital advertising strategy for promoting a creative campaign always equal innovative marketing success compared to the traditional mediums?"
