Abstract:

Graffiti Dance creates a collaborative space for the voice of a local community to express a statement about the world around them. Several participants become graffiti artists, paint-ing with an arsenal of lights via virtual graffiti mechanisms. Colors, images, and terms from popular sources (syndicated news Images & Twitter) and local influences (from mobile uploads) are suggested for use in the graffiti. Participants and viewers watch the graffiti’s creation and receive feedback pro-vided by a set of dancers who interact with the virtual (light) and physical space. Graffiti Dance presents a holistic experi-ence using a plurality of sources that reflects our understanding of the world around us, how we speak out in public forums, and how we interpret the creative act.
