el-tono's tuning forks appear throghout his art. He creates geometric forms that contribute to urban landscape. "The whole point is to intrigue people, to make people reflect in some distinctive way." The funny thing about the situation of this street art is that it appears in the exact place where banksy once had his infamous rat there before it was stolen. This slogan is one of the coolest out there.
The next two street art pieces are done by the french street artist, 'invader' who uses a number of coloured tiles to produce "space invaders" around cities. The tiles represent pixals in the 1970 low resolution video game Space Inders. They appear in cities from amsterdam to vienna. They are supposed to act as an invasion on the urban landscape.
The locations of the mosaic tiles are not random but are chosen due to asthetic, strategical or conceptual reasons. The photo opposite shows the craftiness of the artist placing the mosiac beneath the CCTV camera. Invader creates maps of all his work which is an art in itself. The postions of the mosaics in Montpellier actualy form an image of a space invader. The small funky design is clever in what it represents and the sheer volume of the mosaics around the world is astonishing.
The next image in an example of new york subway art. Street artist Spok has produced his favourite yellow jumper along with, his close friend, el tono's tuning forks. He became famous after his teenage years of carrying a spray can around the United States and Europe and now is wanted for global advertsing campaigns for Nike and L'oreal. "People don't understand, they say it's vandalism. But for me it's the only true art form. Spok's work is amazing. The detail and size of his designs astounds me and no wonder he is wanted to represent companies across the world.
