Great Amnesty street art campaign

This is both an incredible creative and beautiful piece of advertising and an important issue. This is the face of Troy Davis, who has been on death row in Georgia for 19 years despite considerable doubts as to his guilt. This was created for Amnesty by German street art collective Metalgassi and is only visible if seen from the side; when viewed from straight-on you see nothing but bars. You can join the campaign at www.amnesty.co.uk/fence.

Amazing invention allows disabled artist to tag again

From Fast Company magazine:

"Tony Quan, better known as TemptOne, was a fixture of the L.A. graffiti and politcal-activism scene before he was diagnosed with ALS in 2003. The disease quickly rendered him unable to move anything except his eyes. In the intervening years, the disease has ended his days of graffiti writing--but he's tagging again, thanks to a new invention, the Eyewriter.

"It combines eye-tracking hardware and GRO's famed L.A.S.E.R. tagging system, which uses a laser pointer and an LED projector to create virtual graffiti as big as a building."
