Kids are so inspiring!

On that sunny Thursday morning eleven rubber-clad strangers and I nervously congregated in an empty car park at Stokes Bay, Gosport. Not the usual start to my daily routine I can assure you!

YrWall | Interactive Digital Graffiti Wall from Lumacoustics on Vimeo.

Off the wall. No solvents, no drips, no runs.

With so many tedious and laborious tasks being made quicker and easier via the interweb it should come as no great surprise that you can even co-exist via your own pseudo ‘digital you’. Thanks to websites such as Second Life you can live out all of your wildest dreams and perversions anonymously in an ever-evolving 3D fantasy world. Read more…
