Graffiti Analysis.

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 Graffiti Markup Language (.gml) files, a specifically formatted XML file designed to be a common open structure for archiving gestural graffiti motion data.

New chapter in debate over Banksy film

According to the New York Times’ chief movie-awards correspondent, Melena Ryzik, a credit fight has backed up guerrilla artist Banksy’s contention that “Exit Through the Gift Shop” is a real, factual film, not a hoax or mockumentary.

Banksy, Truth and the Third ManBy MELENA RYZIKParanoid PicturesThierry Guetta as Mr. Brainwash in “Exit Through the Gift Shop.”It’s easy to get lost in a hall of art-house mirrors when thinking or writing about “Exit Through the Gift Shop,” better known as the Banksy documentary. The pseudonymous British street artist has emerged from the shadows a bit to promote the film – but he’s expressed surprise that people might think his work is a prank, even though, you know, that sort of comes with the territory of being an internationally known prankster.

Wheat paste

Paste Recipes

Wheat paste

Prepare 1 cup (2.4 dl) of very hot water. Make a thin mixture of 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of white flour and cold water (just enough to wet all the flour and make it liquid enough to pour). Pour the cold mixture slowly into the hot water while stirring constantly. Bring to a boil. When it thickens, allow to cool. Smear on like any other glue. For slightly better strength, add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of sugar after the glue is thickened. After using a portion, reheat the remaining in a covered jar or container to sterilize it for storage or keep refrigerated. If wheat flour is not available, other flours will work.

Rice Paste

Mix one part rice flour and six parts water. Heat while mixing to a smooth consistency.

Acacia tree gum also works.
