Spidertag continues his mission of interpolating neon in public and private spaces around the world, this time conjuring his “Interactive Immersive Neon Space #1 -IINS#1”, which appears at the cultural space/café/bistro Amasada in Timisoara, Romania.
“I did this project trying to take all the power of my neons and the good vibes and energy of my symbols and signs to create a space full of colors and hope,” he says.

Here in Sibiu, Romania for the 3rd International Street Art Festival is an artist named Lost Optics.
“My proposal for this year’s mural is a kind of post-graffiti,” says the Bucharest-based member of Sweet Damage Crew, using a term being bandied about by scholars and academics these days to describe the period we are now in, as well as the number of art practices being employed on the street today.
An fan and experienced practitioner of the traditional graffiti letter form, Lost Optics says that he is updating his personal practice by defragmenting them – perhaps feeding them through a refracting optic glass? With modern elements of glitch and pixel art, you can see how this new mural may be his interpretation of urban in the context of digital media.
The festival is produced by the ART FACTORY Transylvania Association, a group of artists and professionals who are interested in promoting the city as well as bringing art to the youth in this picturesque 13th century metropolis of 425,000 in southern Romania with winding cobblestone streets, Germanic architecture, the Brukental Palace, Evangelical Cathedral and Bukenthal National Museum.
The murals created this year by two dozen local and international artists are added to those of the first two Sibiu Street Art festivals for a full fledged two hour bicycle tour. These pieces of course are fully realized legal murals: Not sure where to go to see actual Street Art, but local writers and crews can surely show you the way.

Welcome to New York! Apparently there is some sort of sporting event happening today here. Or is in New Jersey? So hard to tell. Something to do with tobogganing or something. Winter Olympics maybe?
Here’s our weekly interview with the street, this week featuring Chor Boogie, Chromo, Dain, Deived, El Sol 25, Jesse James, Katsu, Luut, Mr. Toll, Reve, Sen2, The Orion, UNO.
Romania in Da House! That’s right yo, Allan Dalla are as funny as they are talented and you can reach right inside the mind of a child to get the playful poppy organic geometrics that wrap their figures and fantasies. The Romanian Street Art collective teamed up with Kero to make this big pot of “Geometrip Soup” and kids from the neighborhood were there to cheer them on, their mere presence bringing the street alive.
Also make sure to check out the video after the pics to see how you can make a fun Saturday in your house with just a few ingredients and some imagination. Kids! Try this at home!
Here’s that video we were telling you about:
In 2011 Allan Dalla made this with Platonic Forms for their project Cosmonotrips. We have shown it on these pages but it never gets old. See it again or see it for the first time.

It’s an opportunity to see three painters exploring traditional issues of abstraction.

A poorly shot little video of this lenticular tribute to Steve Jobs, but you get the idea. Yesterday there were many tributes to the founder of Apple in front of the Apple stores in Manhattan, as many people were clearly affected by the creative genius of the guy over the last 3 decades. Our thoughts go to his family and friends.
PBS ARTS has a new short film with two female Street Artists SWOON and OLEK for their series “Off Book”. Watch it below- sorry about the commercial at the start of the video.
This summer in July a group of four artists from Cape Town, South Africa traveled to Rochester, New York to collaborate on a series of murals with local artists. Watch Faith47, Make1one, Dal, and Freddy Sam at work. This privately funded project was sponsored by the Synthesis Collaborative, a non-profit based in Rochester.
Here is a teaser for their upcoming show Cosmonotrips. Short but fun!
