This blog is about web 2.0, traditional media and advertising, how they affect each other and how they affect us (especially me). It is also about stuff I like such as art, design, animation, music and photography. what I feel like writing. Nothing written here should be taken too seriously...
Banksy is known all over the wolrd for his creative graffiti technique and the social and political messages behind all of them. Recently his art has reached new grounds as people started preserving his street graffitis. Angelina Jolie payed as much as 200.000 British pounds for one of his works.
Looking for some info on Google Maps API, I stumbled on this project where German artist Aram Bartholl plays with the Google satellite by placing physical Google Maps markers on the ground.
Here’s a picture:
Check Bartholl’s other projects where he explores the interactions between the web and the physical world.

An all time classic revisited. Browsing the web for some Web 2.0 memes I stumbled upon a poster named FooBar by Pixel Art masters Eboy.com. I’ve always admired the creativity and the hard work behind all Eboy works but this one is an perfect picture of the Web 2.0 as it is today, including all the mess in the poster.
Here it is for your viewing pleasure.
If you want to buy it go to Eboy.com and you should be able to find a link to an online service.
When Barcelona’s Contemporary Art festival turns 6.
From November the 8th till December the 11th, art galleries, exhibition halls and artist workshops will open their doors for the 6th edition of Barcelona’s Contemporary Art festival (BAC), art that leaves no one indifferent. Just see it for yourself in Li Wei’s poster of this edition.
You don’t like the audio guide in your favorite museum? No problem. Just create your own and podcast it.
Art Mobs have produced unofficial audio guides for MoMa, and they’re available as podcasts for you to download.
So instead of listening to the monotone voice of the official MoMa narrator, you could be listening to art students talking about what a painting would say if it could talk or what the soundtrack for a still image could be.
Invitations are open to anywone who wants to cook an alternate audio guide to the MoMa. Art Mobs will add it to their podcast feed.
I wonder what the alternative audio guide for MACBA (Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona) would say about the huge bed installation by painter Antoni TÃ pies?
