A project by Evan Roth with software development by Chris Sugrue, Graffiti Analysis 2.0 is an openFrameworks application that tracks motion of a graffiti tag and represents it digitally in three dimensions, accompanied by particle effects, somewhat stylized generative animations are generated.

Inspired by what began as his thesis project Graffiti Taxonomy and his involvement in the Graffiti Research Lab, Evan continues to explore Graffiti typography. Amongst many other things he is also in the process of co-founding F.A.T. (Free Art & Technology), Brooklyn’s first and only R&D lab for the public domain. Evan studied Parsons Design + Technology MFA program where he now teaches subjects ranging from visual programming to internet fame to geek graffiti (a course labeled “an invitation to break the law” by city council member Peter Vallone Jr.). You can read more about Evan and see his other work at evan-roth.com

Graffiti Analysis 2.0 software is still in development but the source code and downloads will be made available soon on evan-roth.com.

It’s great to see brilliant minds at work. I’d rock one of these.

YikeBike is a statement about using smart technology to solve the problems of our increasingly congested, polluted, stressful cities. It is the first commercial expression of the mini-farthing concept, created up by a bunch of successful entrepreneurs, engineers and dreamers. The YikeBike employs state-of-the-art technology, engineering and industrial design to create a new class of personal transport.

This demo — from Pattie Maes’ lab at MIT, spearheaded by Pranav Mistry — was the buzz of TED. It’s a wearable device with a projector that paves the way for profound interaction with our environment. Imagine “Minority Report” and then some.
