A Catalogue Of Street Art Techniques
...................................................................................................
A Catalogue of Street Art Techniques is a prototype of open source platform for sharing knowledge over Street Art, curated by The G. Canyon in a Crack, a research platform I am running together with Anna Triboli. The project had its first test during the 3rd edition of the Public Design Festival, organized in Milan form the 12th to the 17th of April 2011.
A Catalogue of Street Art Techniques provides to the visitors an open navigation system, as well as references and informations over the realization of some notable artworks, both available online at streetarttechniques.wordpress.com and in the shape of a record placed beside each of the artworks. The physical and the virtual platform are connected through a QR-Code.
The project had its focus in the areas where the Public Design Festival took place, with the purpose of presenting the works of artists that act everyday in our public space, in the attempt to create an interactive, open air museum.
A Catalogue of Street Art Techniques aims to use its instruments to work in the context of the city, in order to valorize what is already present rather than creating what lacks.
Thanks to a group of technological partners, the project provided free access to a worldwide database of Street Art, in the days of the Public Design Festival, through an iPhone-based app named All City Street Art. The database is open and fully customizable and included all the artworks featured in the project.
During the days of the festival, we had also the chance to organize also a Street Art Walking Tour, together with a local guide and two of the artists.
