Still Here

Four Crew has been more active than me the past few months.

I've seen a couple walls around town that have been brightened up and will get back to that a bit later this week. For now, here's a wall along the canal near WuChuan West Road.

Ximending Graffiti Art Exhibit

New/Old Graffiti by the Wuer HSR Station

I saw a couple walls painted up right by the Taichung HSR station from the bus the other day and figured on getting back to see if there was anything else nearby. Just across the stream to the south beneath the overpass there is perhaps a .5km long wall that is 98% covered with great stuff from Four Crew and Virus No 6. Most of the stuff along the wall is dated 2007, but there's a ramp tagged 2008 on the south end. It's good to finally find where everyone has been active for the past year.

Graf-wii-ti

Martin Lihs, working on his Master's Thesis at Bauhaus University in Weimar, has developed a modified Wii controller with which one could practice tagging inside on rainy days. As his thesis is not yet complete, full specs have not been made public, but Lihs suggests about the next version that he's

planning to build a new spraycan with more functions and also an advanced software with collaborative spraying option, different caps, different colours…. and maybee different Sprayers make an appointment and create grafitties together: online!

Controllers might be ready for Christmas, but I guess Santa Claus won't bring you one if you've been defacing public property.
