Boa Mistura is an urban art group formed at the end of 2001 in Madrid, Spain. Berlin Street Artists Make Insane Art Out Of The City's Waste. Sociologists have floated several theories for why we litter and generally refuse to recycle: Maybe it’s because we view certain things used as inherently useless, as a recent University of Alberta study suggests, or perhaps it’s our inability to deal with the concept of death, as New York City sanitation anthropologist Robin Nagle argues.
Either way, we’re dealing with cognitive dissonance on a mass level. So how can we break the pattern? How do we stop thinking about waste as something to be kept far from the public eye--and discourse? Three Berlin street artists armed with rolls of saran wrap may have an answer. Since 2011, German art collective Bosso Fataka has been taking pieces of found street trash and hoisting them into elaborate sculptures suspended in plastic. “If you walk with open eyes through the streets, it’s frightening how much waste is produced in our society,” the group explains to Co.Exist in an email. Monkey Business.
Street Art That Steals Back From Google Maps. Since it launched in 2009, Google Street View has captured tens of millions of photos and covered 5 million miles.
The Street View car’s all-seeing 15-lens camera has also photographed thousands of unwitting bystanders, turning them into blurry-faced witnesses to the Google Maps universe. With a new project called Street Ghosts, net-artist Paolo Cirio is reversing that process. The Italian artist prints images of people he finds in Street View, then visits the precise spot they were captured by the Street View car. Using wheat paste, he glues their life-sized likenesses to where they appear on Google Maps, creating an ephemeral feedback loop between the on- and offline world. By practicing what Google preaches, Cirio wants to draw attention to unanswered questions about Google user privacy.
Street Ghosts was funded by a residency at New York’s Eyebeam Center this September. This isn’t the first time Cirio has examined Google through art. [H/T The Verge] LIBRO DE STREET ART EN COLOMBIA.

Graffiti Analysis. CRYPTIK - HOME. Sin pasARTE de la raya. Why Street Art Matters. Some city councils get it, others don’t.
Tapping the creative talents of street artists, illustrators and graphic designers is an effective and cool way to make bland public spaces, old buildings, bridges and car parks new again, and to freshen up the concrete jungle. It is also an effective way of keeping graffiti away. Plus it draws attention to the building or structure as “potential” not as something to be hated. Maybe it will even bring a buyer, a new occupant or additional creative ideas about how to revitalize the building? Anything but the current dilapidated state of abandoned spaces!
Street artists and muralists bring with them vibrant and a new perspective that architects or designers may not have. Contact Access Agency so we can help. - Bill Tikos.
