Graffiti Analysis 3.0 – “It’s hard to believe we could fit so many great ideas into something so thin.”
Break out your digital projectors, markers, turntables, lasers and 3D glasses, because Graffiti Analysis version 3.0 is finally here. For information and downloads go to graffitianalysis.com (source code available on github). Your one stop shop for ink and pixels.
New features include:
– audio input
– architectural awareness
– laser input
– keyword based .gml RSS playback
– red / cyan 3D effect
Overview:
Graffiti Analysis is an extensive ongoing study in the motion of graffiti. Custom software designed for graffiti writers creates visualizations of the often unseen gestures involved in the creation of a tag. Motion data is recorded, analyzed and archived as a Graffiti Markup Language (.gml) file, a specifically formatted XML file designed to be a common open structure for archiving gestural graffiti motion data.
Credits:
Graffiti Analysis is a project by Evan Roth. Software development by Mzz Chris Sugrue. Support for GAv3.0 from Les Grandes Traversees. Graffiti Analysis was built in Open Framewerkz, with additional code contributions from Theo Watson (laser input integration), Kyle McDonald (audio analysis) and ps / TPOLM (.gml RSS system).
GML Week II continues…
Graffiti Markup Language Week is back for a second round of studies in XML vandalism. Stay tuned to F.A.T. all week for daily GML based releases from the network of FAT fellows, friends and family.
For those not familiar with Graffiti Markup Language (.gml), it is a universal, XML-based, open file format designed to store graffiti motion data (x coordinates, y coordinates and time). The format is designed to maximize readability and ease of implementation for even hobbyist programmers, artists and graffiti writers. GML is intended to be a simple bridge between ink and code, promoting collaborations between graffiti writers and hackers. GML Week Part I can be viewed at fffff.at/tag/gmlweek.

“TELE-INTERNET is an organically growing structure, a hacker space, an (un)conference, a stage, an exhibition, a social performance, Commune 0/1, and a site for anyone who’s interested in discussing the development of the internet, exchanging ideas, and presenting their own projects. Ars Electronica festivalgoers are invited to take the plunge and join the fun, to contribute to the discussion, or to chill out on the couch with a clubmate and a notebook.”
curated by Aram Bartholl , 2010

We’re working on a new improved version of WPFolio, and could use your help! WPFolio gives artists a free and open source tool to create their portfolios. With thousands of downloads, it’s likely to be many artists first encounter with free and open source tools!
While the project started a couple years ago, WordPress has developed several features that make it easier to create this kind of site and WPFolio is keeping up. The 1.6 version includes:
- custom menus w/ jQuery
- custom backgrounds
- better fonts
- better styling and improvements on the code
- a sample child theme so you can keep your tweaks separate from the core code
All this for the fabulous price of zero dollars!
1.6 is a beta release and there’s some bugs and improvements we need to get done before we can submit it to WordPress. Some are super simple things like improving php code, updating deprecated tags, and enabling custom headers, so if you want to take ’em on, we’d appreciate it. You can fork WPFolio on GitHub and all the issues are listed on the GitHub issues page most with links leading to solutions. If you want to check out WPFolio more generally, see the WPFolio Owner’s Manual. If you have any questions, get in touch!
Once WPFolio is in primo shape, we may update the FFFFFat theme….
