YOUTUBE: Hobart Graffiti Web206

This week the web publishing activity has been optional, (the dawg loves a challenge!) so I dove (like a high dive!! and not a flying bird thingy...) into my image files,, put on the "runners" and.... Trekked out and about around Hobart (lots of sore paws!!!) to find some more great graffiti heritage to publish in digital form. Enjoy, was so much fun making this.. am thinking of making another... let me know what you think.. comment if you would like to see another vid! Gd.

IS? Graffiti Social Media?

From Social Media To Human Media - critical reflection on social media & some design methods to design social environments

View more presentations from Niels Hendriks Susan Herring and associates have concluded that, '... social networks consist of people connected through various social relationships and exchanges ...' (Herring et al, 2005). dawg is prepared to argue here that GRAFFITI and its derivatives (paste-ups, tagging etc. etc.) is just that - socialisation , but in pictorial form. Artists and taggers express themselves to each another and to an ever widening audience (thanks to the Internet) in a manner that is saying something about them in a language that others can understand

So by graffiti(ing) on my own image, what does that say about me?

Are we all contributing to social spaces by using a variety of
graffiti, to send a message in one form or another to each other like the
Ancient Egyptians did with pictographs?. (dawg does
not condone the use of illegal drugs btw...Image 4.
((which has now been painted over by the Hobart City Council 10-10-2011))
So is graffiti a social message then? AND who are they talking to about what?
