Adbusters Culturejammer Headquarters | Journal of the mental env Street Art Comes Alive! (20 pics + video) South African artist Robin Rhode takes street art to a whole new level by adding in performances. Using everyday materials like chalk, charcoal or paint, he conjures up creative stories and then adds in actors to his "plays." What starts out as a simple drawing of figures and shapes, magically transforms itself into a clever piece of performance street art! Most interestingly, Rhode often returns to his native South Africa, creating pieces on the streets of Johannesburg that address social issues like poverty and inequality. Watch this video to get to know the artist.

Alëxone Museu do Minhocão index Cool Star Wars Graffiti Star Wars has embedded itself in to public consciousness throughout the world. It has also served as inspiration for artists who have grown up with the movies and ultimately develop their own artistic take, not always it has to be said in a strictly legal manner. Graffiti is loved by some and loathed by many but it would have to be a hard hearted Star Wars fan who didn't crack a smile when confronted with these. Here is a brief whistle stop tour of the coolest Star Wars graffiti we could find. These Walkers can be found in Brighton, Massachussets. Sometimes fun can be had with a little movie mix and match.

Always remember - Chewie is your friend.

ATOME Brilliant Street Art by Mobstr [20 pics] Sep 14, 2010 Hailing from the United Kingdom (Newcastle to be exact), street artist Mobstr employs a combination of stencils and cheeky quips to challenge the way we view public space. Whether he’s co-opting billboards, battling the local authorities or just having a little fun, Mobstr’s work is sure to bring a grin to any fan of street art. Enjoy a sample of his terrific work below and be sure to check out his FLICKR PAGE for more provocative work. What is public space and why do you work in it? I guess I think of public space in a city as the areas in which everyone is allowed physical access to. Why do you feel you have the right to use public space and in particular public advertising space? Our visual surroundings are very important to us. What’s your favourite experiences in public involving a person you didn’t know? I am not sure if it is one of my favourite experiences but it is interesting.

Manifesto The OBEY sticker campaign can be explained as an experiment in Phenomenology. Heidegger describes Phenomenology as “the process of letting things manifest themselves.” Phenomenology attempts to enable people to see clearly something that is right before their eyes but obscured; things that are so taken for granted that they are muted by abstract observation. The FIRST AIM OF PHENOMENOLOGY is to reawaken a sense of wonder about one’s environment. Many people who are familiar with the sticker find the image itself amusing, recognizing it as nonsensical, and are able to derive straightforward visual pleasure without burdening themselves with an explanation. Another phenomenon the sticker has brought to light is the trendy and CONSPICUOUSLY CONSUMPTIVE nature of many members of society. Shepard Fairey, 1990
