Austin Zombie Warnings

Roadsign Hacking in Austin - (Traffic Controller Bruce) Jones, who has one of only two keys to the locked access panels on the portable signs, said that the hacker broke into the panels [arguable] on each sign and bypassed the passwords before leaving five different zombie messages and even changing one of the passwords. Jones said he had to wait until 8 a.m. to call the manufacturing company to figure out how to override the hacker's work [Bruce, please see original article]. He speculated that the hacker could be a computer genius from UT.

Anonymous:  I would complain to the Texas DOT; "Zombie" is a pejorative term and that they prefer to be called "Re-animated-Americans."

Write here, right now

Gemma O'Brien, aka Mrs. Eaves.

8 hours of writing
5 permanent markers
3 baths and 2 showers to clean off

Part of a campaign to promote writing on designated graffiti spaces rather than someone else's property. Would you write all over your property?

Some Thoughts about Remaking Language

Graffiti, as it has evolved in the last 30 years or so, is not living up to its potential. Instead of aggressively reproducing its own internal code like a machine that has gone out of control and keeps banging its head into the same wall over and over again, the graffiti community should break out of its current deadlock. If graffiti would leave behind the world of custom, convention and fashion and entered a modus operandi in which graffiti was about language first it would be an entire different game and likely much more exciting. The current arsenal of styles, forms and images used by graffiti writers is a limited one. By opening up the frontiers of possibility, by incorporating models and thoughts from all ages, graffiti writers could be entering a field where there is much to discover. Their private graf language would no longer be marginalized and stereotyped by the conservative way things are supposed to be done. In order to achieve this graffiti would need to start communicating with people from outside the scene again, doing so in a smart way and on its own terms. (via  Graffiti and the Obelisk)

Joshua Callaghan's Street Art

Artist Joshua Callaghan has worked on a series of public art projects in addition to his sculptural installations.
The series uses digitally printed adhesive vinyl, which Callaghan applies to urban infrastructure like electricity
boxes. The graphics on the vinyl depict the scene that is hidden behind. The project appears like a reflective
surface transforming what could blight the environment, into a piece of art. The vinyl is permanent and coated
with a special chemical to prevent graffiti.
