Over
the last couple of months we’ve had numerous conversations with artists who work
on the street, and the topic of animation seems to keep coming up. For a lot of
artists, animating their characters and incorporating the street into the
“canvas” is the next big challenge.

In the last few days we’ve
highlighted a few examples of early experiments in “street art animation”
including Pure Evil’s “Evilmatosis”  and I
Woz Ere.

Today Boing
Boing posted a link to a nice little href="http://www.vkn.lv/index.php?parent=525">animation in which a stencil
robot walks through the city as photographs of the artists’ work on powerboxes,
walls, and lamposts play out in sequence. It’s very clever and very
effective.

We get asked a lot about the “future” of street art and
where it’s headed.  Based on what we’ve seen, one place is clearly animation.
