Raquel Sakristan at Surpas Festival

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 06:24:21 +0000

Raquel Sakristan latest work at Surpas Festival, PortBou 2010. This is a collaborative piece between the artist and the public. During the process, she invited the neighbors (specialy the old people from the village) to take part at the creation and execution of the piece, bringing all the stuff they think that would fit at their “Mural collage”. It´s an amazing way to integrate the neighbors in the process and create a much more opened street art scene…!

The Big Dipper project

Recreating the missing stars - The Big Dipper project, by Oscar Lhermitte, tries to recreate the stars in the night sky. Living in big cities such as London has many advantages, but some concessions have to be made. Not being able to see the sky full of stars is one of them. As you know, the city lights, the British weather and the pollution hide the contemplation of this poetic open space.
This installation, that uses LEDs and ballons, was left for the night in the East side of London. Pedestrians passing by were able to contemplate the night sky, full of stars.

The EyeWriter project, from graffiti research lab, is an ongoing collaborative research effort to empower people who are suffering from ALS with creative technologies.

It is a low-cost eye-tracking apparatus & custom software that allows graffiti writers and artists with paralysis resulting from Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to draw using only their eyes.

“Art is a tool of empowerment and social change, and I consider myself blessed to be able to create and use my work to promote health reform, bring awareness about ALS and help others.”

– Tony Quan, aka Tempt One

Members of Free Art and Technology (FAT), OpenFrameworks, the Graffiti Research Lab, and The Ebeling Group communities have teamed-up with a legendary LA graffiti writer, publisher and activist, named Tony Quan, aka TEMPTONE. Tony was diagnosed with ALS in 2003, a disease which has left him almost completely physically paralyzed… except for his eyes. This international team is working together to create a low-cost, open source eye-tracking system that will allow ALS patients to draw using just their eyes. The long-term goal is to create a professional/social network of software developers, hardware hackers, urban projection artists and ALS patients from around the world who are using local materials and open source research to creatively connect and make eye art.
