Urban Chaos >> Manipulative Grafitti

urban chaos manipulative grafitti

Look I know I should be writing my own impression of the stuff that inspires me, but I’m still in holiday mode – forgive.

So, there’s a kid called Piero who’s incredibly cool…so cool that he created loads of street sign manipulation stickers as part of a school project (some of you may know how obsessed I am with street signs!). He’s called the project Urban Chaos and he’s made an excellent job of it so far. Really looking forward to seeing where this project leads. I can imagine a site where people contribute to a database of photos of manipulated signs from all over the world. Is this a dream we all share or is it just mine?!

“A silent universe that slips silently by us, all the time, every day. By trying to break these relationships between these humanless and powerful symbols, giving a little more life has completely changed our visual and sentimental perception of signs.” Amen to that.

Massive respect to Ektopia for the words (above) and the link.
