I started on the idea of developing an interactive tool for smart devices capable of collecting and editing images part of an animation placed at different locations in public spaces around a city. This idea than developed on to a more observatory aim and I intend to examine the degradation of theses frames (what ever the format: paper, paint, etc…). For this purpose and as an experiment I intent to use an already existing smart device app and regularly capture the frames of a simple and short sequence in their location to rebuild multiple takes of this same animation and evaluate the results. | |||
With this experiment, I would like to express the difference between public art and street art, the contrast of attention that an audience and/or the community would have for theses artistic productions. I would like to point out that while public art is commissioned by cities or property owners and is considered culturally enriching and socially acceptable, Street art is considered rebellious in nature and illegal in practice. Public art is so well protected, invested on, archived and restored, when on the other hand street art is left to degrade and in some cases would eventually disappear. | |||
To that effect, over a period of 6 weeks, I collected data to analyze the tolerance of Street art by the community but also observe the consequences that physical substances in the environment of a town have on a particular piece depending on the location it is positioned in relation to time. Whether theses matters are manmade (dust, car pollution or any other type of daily activities) or natural events (rain, sun, etc.). | |||
