Junk With Art

Project launch for Junk with Art. People are invited to submit GPS
coordinates in google street view wherever they found Junk Art on Google
Street View. The images obtained will be posted on project page
http://junkwithart.tumblr.com/


Wonderful examples of street art, graffiti of extraordinary beauty made
onto poor support are appearing in every city: rubbish bins. The choice
fell on the containers and not, more trivially, on the walls, since a wall
remains someone’s property , while waste is something that we all produce,
which comes from our homes and therefore represent us most intimately.
Furthermore, bins are perishable media compared to a solid wall, which,
unless the builinding is demolished, It is able to withstand for decades to
weather and adversity . If we add that, because of the gradual spread of
the collection, soon all these containers will disappear permanently, the
desire to save these works so that they are usable for years to come
definitely takes on a new meaning.
Visitors can choose between viewing through Google Street View physically
inaccessible works, or exploring their territory and then going down the
streets and admire them live.
Junk With Art is a virtual art gallery open 24/7 and it is fully
interactive through the use of Google Maps: clicking on the links that
follow the work, the visitor has the opportunity to view directly the works
herein documented. A real appreciation of what could undoubtedly be
defined, albeit wrongly, junk art.
Users will also have the opportunity to participate actively in the
collection of these testimonies reporting new graffiti or sending firsthand
photos of the works in their city or encountered in the course of their
journeys.
