XI Gaffiti Tagging: Extending the act of design in digital space

抄録

This paper presents a prototype application for three-dimensional virtual graffiti based on the concept of eXteded Intelligence (XI/ EI). Often positioned as an illegitimate art form, street art such as graffiti and tagging has become an artistic activity with high artistic acclaim and popular appeal. This is evident in the fact that the works of artists such as Basquiat and Banksy, who emerged from Street Art, are today sold for some of the highest prices. Therefore, this paper presents the possibility of digitizing street art such as graffiti in a three-dimensional virtual space as a new artistic method, which is legitimate and is also able to extend the expressive potential of existing street art. In particular, by introducing the ideas and methods of augmented intelligence, we will pioneer a completely new approach and expression of street art.
