New/Old Graffiti by the Wuer HSR Station

I saw a couple walls painted up right by the Taichung HSR station from the bus the other day and figured on getting back to see if there was anything else nearby. Just across the stream to the south beneath the overpass there is perhaps a .5km long wall that is 98% covered with great stuff from Four Crew and Virus No 6. Most of the stuff along the wall is dated 2007, but there's a ramp tagged 2008 on the south end. It's good to finally find where everyone has been active for the past year.

Graf-wii-ti

Martin Lihs, working on his Master's Thesis at Bauhaus University in Weimar, has developed a modified Wii controller with which one could practice tagging inside on rainy days. As his thesis is not yet complete, full specs have not been made public, but Lihs suggests about the next version that he's

planning to build a new spraycan with more functions and also an advanced software with collaborative spraying option, different caps, different colours…. and maybee different Sprayers make an appointment and create grafitties together: online!

Controllers might be ready for Christmas, but I guess Santa Claus won't bring you one if you've been defacing public property.

Cans Festival, May 2008, London

Bloggage by Tanya » Blog Archive » Cans Festival:
Here's a link to a collection of great shots from London this week.

Tanya sez she "decided to check out the Cans Festival which was publicised just a few days ago.
The location had been kept a secret while Banksy, Bandit, Jef Aerosol and others transformed a
bland tunnel near Waterloo Station, into a street art extravaganza.

Here's a video from Current on the topic of Banksy. I haven't been able to view more than the first ten seconds yet because of my super slow connection where I'm at. I hope you can enjoy it where you're at. When I'm at a different place, I'll see where it's at. And what it's about.
