Awsome visualisations of places are created by Nikolas Schiller. Utilising public domain maps, he views the Earth from a bird's-eye view shattering into a variety of fractal images. His geo-spatial art “is about new and experimental perspectives & projections of the world around and above you. With the world already charted and mapped, Geospatial Art allows you to rediscover it all over again. My geographic designs deviate from traditional cartography because they will not orient one to the right path, rather they offer many paths and many views of a place at a specific time in history. “In various cities street art workers are reappropriating their public spaces and engaging in heteroglossia:
- The Graffiti Research Lab is enabling artists with open source technologies for urban communication in open cities.
- On Instructibles there is a visual demonstration how to convert your digital image into to a multiple layered stencil.
- Banksy is active outdoors as well as indoors. Check Flickr images.
- Street Installations also make the city dweller stop and snap out of it.
- 6.de in Berlin is ubiquitous with a mix of painted art, stencils and installations, all work done from his bike. BTW there is an exhibition on 6.4 at the Fleischerei.
- On transit one can view underground art in the London tube, or even search or note all the smells (perfume, sewage, food and body odour) on the New York City Subway Smell Map.
- A "Color Shift" of (video) billboards is not a bad holiday form the ever same message of 'car-smokes-alcohol' either.
- In Russia they 'just paint the town red'
