This project looks pretty sick. And the good thing about it is, that even though it is bringing technology and graffiti/street art together, it’s not exploiting it with some mainstream adulteration.
Graffiti Analysis 2.0: Digital Blackbook from Evan Roth on Vimeo.
I think it is pretty tight how it not only renders the visual result of a tag/piece, but it focuses on capturing the “motion,” which is a big characteristic and and driving mechanism of defining the unique styles portrayed in graffiti and individuals that most would never be able to see or perceive. That is a finely tuned attribute of the craft that really isn’t a secret or anything, but it just isn’t something that is easily exposed or conveyed to some. It’s the “feel” of creating art, that even though this analysis project is getting really close to it, I’m still not sure if that can ever be transmitted precisely to everyone. It not only goes for visual art, but even other skills such as shooting a basketball, or playing the violin. Sometimes you just gotta’ “feel it.”
