To me there is a truth in the imperfection and a feeling within these lines that make them absolutely beautiful and engrossing. I wish i could draw like this.

questions
We have to start asking questions and stop accepting everything on the walls as good. We need to ask ourselves why it is important that this is outdoors? Would this be any good if it weren’t? Why does it matter that this is done where and how it was? How is this new and, most importantly, why should I care?

A light made out of silk worm cocoons. Seems to have the same aura and feel as my egg light from last year, only it feels a little bit softer.

Multi dimensional Graffiti
Banksy
Above
Here are two great pieces that break the traditional barriers established by the built environment. There is something about the extension from the wall onto the ground which transforms these pieces from an 'unremarkable visual pollution' into pieces that force acknowledgment as a result of their inherent relationship with the build world in which they exist. The Banksy piece is especially effective in that it literally transposes an already present element of the built world(road markings) directly onto the wall to create a seamless melding of our surrounding space and graffiti.
"Evoke is a massive animated projection that lights up the facade of York Minster in response to the public, who use their own voices to "evoke" colourful light patterns that emerge at the building's foundations and soar up towards the sky, giving the surface a magical feeling as it melts with colour."
While the interactive part is nice, this piece really jumped out at me for the sheer massiveness of the projection, and the colors and shapes that are generated. I like the idea that an entire building can be consumed by light and a projection.
How does such a projection change the viewer's perception of the actual building? How does it change the way the experience and perceive the space around them? Does this make them notice more or less about the built world that surrounds them.

When a lamp isn't a lamp
A hand blown piece of glass with a light nested above it, the light(bulb) becomes the shade, while the light exists independently of the bulb. a great challenge to the question of what is a light??
