All Things Considered

Community Friendly Graffiti
Posted by Kate Sullivan

At first I was a bit baffled by light graffiti, but having had a go at
taking some photos with sparklers in the dark, it all started to make sense. Prolonging the camera exposure while drawing with a light source can produce some amazing results, (not mine) but some of the sites and images I have come across are excellent.

Urban light art has become quite a craze around the world, and with it being a non-permanent art, sharing and displaying the visuals online seems to fit in perfectly with the rapidly growing internet based communities.

What's great about this form of graffiti is that it causes no damage to buildings, leaving no negative environmental impact on our towns and cities.

Here is a clip of an advert I came across on You Tube, and this slide-show on Flickr is quite brilliant.

I'm now wishing I had bought a few boxes of glow-sticks for Christmas gifts...
