SCOPERTA LA VERA IDENTITA' DI BANKSY
Roma, 13 lug. (Apcom) - Banksy - scrive oggi il Mail on Sunday - è stato smascherato. L'artista misterioso, il virtuoso dello stencil che ha fatto del mistero della sua identità un sicuro veicolo di successo e autopromozione, da oggi in poi ha un nome e un cognome. Secondo la rivelazione del tabloid l'elusivo artista è un ex bravo ragazzo della classe media e per l'anagrafe ha il nome di Robin Cunningham.
Per il Mail è uno scoop pieno di sfumature e novità difficili da digerire per i fan della primula rossa degli artisti di strada in tutto il mondo. Banksy l'irregolare, Bansky il nemico giurato dell'establishment, avrebbe completato il suo corso di studi in un'abbastanza prestigiosa public school di Bristol (la Bristol Cathedral School) lasciando un ricordo di compiaciuto orgoglio negli insegnanti.
A confermare la scoperta del Mail la 'confessione' di un'artista che in passato ha più volte lavorato e esposto con bansky. Luke Egan, raggiunto dal tabloid, dopo un primo tentativo di depistaggio ha ammesso di aver vissuto con Cunnigham e di sapere che Cunnigham era Banksy.
Sinora l'ipotesi sinora più accreditata Banksy era lo pseudonimo di un certo Robert Banks nato nel 1947 a Bristol o nelle vicinanze. Tra le sue caratteristiche più singolari un'innafferabilità degna del sommo Arsenio Lupin: più volte le sue opere sono apparse all'improvviso nel contesto di paludate mostre e esposizioni ufficiali senza che nessuno capisse chi le avesse portate all'interno e appese tra i quadri e le sculture degli artisti.
Dopo aver iniziato la sua carriera artistica alla fine degli anni Ottanta nella cosiddetta crew "Bristol's DryBreadZ" (DBZ), bansky raggiunse la sua peculiare fama nel 1998 quando organizzò il gigantesco raduno di graffitari Walls On Fire.
Gli stencil di Banksy sono caratterizzati da immagini singolari ed umoristiche, a volteaccompagnate da slogan. Il messaggio di solito e contro la guerra, anti-capitalistico, anti-istituzionale e a favore della pace. I soggetti sono animali come scimmie e ratti, poliziotti, soldati, bambini e anziani. Fa anche adesivi e sculture, come la famosa "cabina telefonica assassinata". Recentemente Banksy ha lavorato nei territori palestinesi realizzando opere e graffiti lungo il muro di separazione eretto dagli israeliani. ... more -

The Hip Hop Files
Martha Cooper was a photo-journalist living in New York City when she first began documenting the origins of B-boy (short for break-boys) and hip hop culture. While other New Yorkers at the time saw this movement as a trite, uninspired or even offensive fad, Martha found a new form of expressing art. Through her camera lens we recount the infancy of hip-hop culture, from the alleys and subways of New York to the masses beyond the boroughs.

Scala Mercalli: la street art invade Roma.
Scosse creative all’Auditorium di Roma dove, fino al 31 luglio, è aperta la Scala Mercalli, la più ampia mostra mai allestita in Italia sulla cosiddetta Street art. Cinquanta artisti, centinaia di opere, anche di formato gigantesco, sculture e installazioni nei giardini. “È la prima volta che si realizza un progetto organico che raccolga tutto il meglio dello scenario della Street art italiana” sostiene il curatore Gianluca Marziani. Un lavoro di ricerca durato un anno che vede insieme nomi storici come Paolo Buggiani (lavorò con Keith Haring a New York negli anni Settanta) e Cuoghi & Corsello, con i giovani Whystyle, Ozmo, Ivan che scrive la sua poesia urbana su grandi spazi (”Chi getta semi al vento farà fiorire il cielo”)... continua Scosse creative all’Auditorium di Roma dove, fino al 31 luglio, è aperta la Scala Mercalli, la più ampia mostra mai allestita in Itali... more

Ghost Photo-graffiti ( The Image Fulgurator )
A creation of Julius von Bismarck, a DIYer and artist based in Berlin. The Image Fulgurator, though imposing in appearance, is actually made from a traditional camera, flash control, flash unit, sensor, and other over-the-counter component. In essence, it works like a portable projector. Insert an already exposed film, with images, into the gadget. When the Image Fulgurator’s sensor detects a flash nearby go off, it also fires its own flash. The process superimpose the preset images onto the photos of unsuspecting photographer. The result: a sort of light graffiti on photos.
The Image Fulgurator is a device for physically manipulating photographs. It intervenes when a photo is being taken, without the photographer being able to detect anything. The manipulation is only visible on the photo afterwards.
In principle, the Fulgurator can be used anywhere where there is another camera nearby that is being used with a flash. It operates via a kind of reactive flash projection that enables an image to be projected on an object exactly at the moment when someone else is photographing it. The intervention is unobtrusive because it takes only a few milliseconds. Every photo another photographer takes of an object at which the Fulgurator is also aimed is affected by the manipulation. Hence visual information can be smuggled unnoticed into the images of others.
