Stop-Motion Interactive Graffiti


MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.
If you haven't already seen examples of the stop-motion graffiti trend which seems to have spread like wild fire (especially on youboob) then you're in for a treat (that is, if you enjoy graphic representations of odd figures eating heads, disfigured body parts, insects devouring a man's head and so forth).

Artist Blu's "MUTO", a stop-motion animation of graffiti coming to life includes some very interesting aspects of interactivity in that the graffiti, or rather the art, itself becomes alive and affects (or effects? always get those two confused..) the surrounding environment by eating the papers on the wall, hanging from a hook on the wall, bricks being pushed around or out of the wall, etc. Add some relatively convincing sound effects and you've got yourself a degree of realism you normally wouldn't find in your average painting.

I can't imagine the amount of time, patience and planning this project took.
