Grafedia is an interactive process of ‘linking’ the real world and in the internet (yes, double-meaning intended). People submit media files (images, text or video) to the Grafedia website then scrawl email addresses on real world walls that, if emailed, will return that media file to the emailer – a “real-life hyperlink with urban surfaces as webpages.”
Bikes Against Bush was part interactive protest and part performance art set in the streets of New York City. “Internet enabled bicycle outfitted with a custom-designed printing device, the Bikes Against Bush bicycle can print text messages sent from web users directly onto the streets of Manhattan in water-soluble chalk.” A few years back, the Bikes Against Bush project encountered legal trouble but the charges were dismissed.
