Those tags look really cool when rendered at 150 megabytes … but then what? Can mograph bring graffiti out of its stagnant little world of infantile calligraphy? Except for those very precious few, IT ALL LOOKS THE SAME.
Color me skeptical. Partly because CMYK will never translate to RGB without fundamentally altering what makes it graffiti. The things one can do with pixels make the limitations of aerosol irrelevant. It blows everything else away, with the results we see here. So what’s the point? Why make an effort to appreciate the motion of graffiti when when it’s fundamentally motionless? We might reach a deeper appreciation of motion graphics by printing out individual frames, but I’m not sure it works the other way around. Are we oogling the art or the software? I think it’s the software.
Everyone’s got a signature. My grandmother could tag that screen “Myrtle” and it would look like some pretty fly shit.
