Artist's Statement
|
The purpose of the Virtual Graffiti object is two-fold. To sublimate the user into a brief glimpse of the world in the role of a tagger and to give the user a virtual canvas, which they themselves can appropriate into their own virtual studio world. To this end the user is given a spray can and a virtual room with a limited number of tags to choose from, by allowing the user to alter the look of the room through the art of tagging, I aim to give the user a sense of having their own space; Even though technically that space is not truly theirs. Thus the user can gain a brief glimpse into the world of a graffiti artist. In further extensions of this worldi aim to develop a virtual subway arena using EAI, in order to allow the user to both, import images into their world and publish their version of these worlds. Possibly allowing them to interconnect their worlds to provide a subway network of virtual underground studios |
