MobiLenin, or BanksyHerring.



From the Everyone famous for 15 pixels department: Jürgen Scheible, aka MobiLenin, is a former Nokia programmer-slash-digital artist who uses light projections on exteriors linked by a cell phone he app he wrote to paint on them in real time. Not sure if Nokia has sponsored him but it looks like it based on this clip. Okay, maybe his fashion has co-opted a Beatles trippy Coldplay chic—whatever that is—and Light projections are not really new, nor is his “painting” style amazing.

It’s childlike, probably owing to limits of the basic interface, but I could see it mimicing old school grafitti wars soon enough.) The kind where one artist would go up against another over a few hours.) How long before the iPhone sponsors outdoor competitions with this? How long beofre Mommy Bloggers™ in Ohio are tagging each other’s houses. Isn’t that what Fashion and hi-tech inventions do? Find their way down to flyover country soon enough I suppose.
