Click through for larger images and a lot of variations. Drawings were collected from 250 participants in a research project who were asked to draw what various emotions felt like, what direction that emotions travels, etc. The result is revealing.

Walls, trains or house fronts – graffiti need to be sprayed on solid, “real” backgrounds. Doesn’t it?

An answer to this is provided by the “Tagged in Motion” project, which builds a bridge between real graffiti art and its virtual depiction. The centre of attention is the graffiti artist DAIM, who co-created the nextwall. Equipped with the appropriate technology, DAIM sprays graffiti into empty space. In a large hall, three cameras using Motion Capturing record DAIM’s position and the movements he executes with a virtual spray can. The assimilated data is shown to him in real time in a pair of video glasses – as free-floating 3D graffiti in space. In this way he can decide how and where to apply his strokes, and via a Bluetooth controller can also determine the colours, strength of brushstrokes and textures of his work.

This is my response to an image recently promoted to the top of social image bookmarking site, FFFFOUND!. Full sizes of original and response below, and links to the entries on FFFFOUND! for your bookmarking pleasure.

Text from the original was:

and i’d like to tell you something:

the pussy, the boobs, the whatever
of your girlfriend body has
nothing to do with design.

graphic design ≠ sex.

your sister anatomy: no, thanks.

Figured out by hand no less, I’d love to see this reproduced with a computer.

I have been catastrophically remiss in not posting about this much sooner than I am now. FFFFOUND! is a new-ish image bookmarking site, kind of like del.icio.us for whatever badass photography/art/design/etc. you find around the internet. Not only that though, the website itself is an aggregate cornucopia of beautiful, stimulating, cortex-crunching imagery taken from everyone else’s submissions. I subscribe to the RSS feed and it usually pulls in about 200 new items a day, all of which I flick through in a few minutes, letting the visuals wash over my subconscious and picking out favorites to bookmark myself.

Right now the service is invite-only and unfortunately I’m fresh out of invites. What makes this place so good though is the quality of the content that rises to the top. Where else will you see the paper sculptures of Jen Stark, classic Josef Müller-Brockmann posters, scientific illustrations of micro-organisms, field shots of nuclear mushroom clouds and sexy/artsy nude female photography all side-by-side? Member or no you can still browse everything on the site, and if you ask them nicely they might send you some invites, that’s what I did.

I’m including some images from my own FFFFOUND! stream inside this post to give you an idea of what you can expect. Much more at my profile and the site itself.

Update: See FFFFOUND! Redux for a debate over the appropriateness of content.

I rest my case.
