A few days ago, I was talking to a friend about whether we had seen any inspiring contemporary art that wasn't remixed digital content. We couldn't come up with anything, but clearly we weren't looking very hard, because this morning, I saw a video on Wooster Collective that blew my mind.
Using public or existing spaces as the medium is cool for so many reasons - for one, the "canvas" is used over and over and is contextualized by the city or place where it was created. And, because the content is constantly being recreated it only exists, holistically in video form. It makes me think of my early art history classes where famous paintings would be x-rayed so experts could study earlier versions that had been painted over.
My favorite video comes from a group called Blu from Buenos Aries. Anyway, check it out... Blu>Moto.
