Title: The Subconscious Art Of Graffiti Removal
Post by: Xooxe on November 05, 2007, 07:46:00 AM
A short film which I thought might inspire here.

It's a satire that many people I've shown do not understand and usually reject it outright as "boring". Claiming that graffiti removal techniques are actually a new wave of modern art, the short goes on to explain that this is a direct consequence of our societal repression of aesthetic form within a functionally industrial urban landscape.

Unfortunately I can't find the clip on youtube anymore so it's going to have to be myspace video.  :cry: It's not the full film - only around a third of it. I don't know where you can see the full thing apart from on the DVD - Resfest Shorts: Volume 3.

Oh, and for the sake of throwing in another (but completely unrelated) Resfest short: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JMvO7T5OpCs (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JMvO7T5OpCs)

It may be satire, but its also interesting as seriousness as well.

Just another way to look at the universe. I DID like the comparison between early 20th century modern art and the topic matter; the similarities are pretty obvious.
