Interesting Communiccation Techniques

how it communicates its content?
Digital folio of street art that graphically ties in with the subject matter, animated and cartoony – a little scrapbook.
what you like about it and why.
I like the way the site is navigated, it is uninterupted and is easy to use whilst still being really quirky. It is curious and fun. What story does it tell, narrative does it invoke? It brings alive a global network of streetart and ties then together as the narrative through humanising them as a character that is travelling. The main tool in this is animating of “Muto” as a faux doco. The overall design of the website is a notebook which contextualises the content. It invokes a sense of grass roots urban activism. It is interesting the idea of the walls coming alive -the streetscape itself living and breathing. Of literally standing up – adding to the sense of street activism. The narrative starts with the alientation of the friendly lil alien street art. then gradually more and more street art starts moving.
How does it position the characters and the structure of their lives around the design? The product is the designs of the art which can be bought in the gallery. However this is only one aspect of the whole site which is more importantly a tool for a global narrative of artistic activism. Through this it placecs the characters as embodied by the moving artpieces and humanised street art as the david and corporate urban civilisation as Goliath.
