2010 Sundance Film Festival: Exit Through The Gift Shop
In the late 1990s, a hybrid form of graffiti began appearing in cities around the world. Enlisting stickers, stencils, posters, and sculpture and spread by the burgeoning Internet, it would be labeled "street art" and establish itself as the most significant counterculture movement of a generation. Los Angeles-based filmmaker Terry Guetta set out to record this secretive world in all its thrilling detail. For more than eight years, he traveled with the pack, roaming the streets of America and Europe, the stealthy witness of the world's most infamous vandals. But after meeting the British stencil artist known only as "Banksy," things took a bizarre turn.
Sundance has shown films by unknown artists but never an anonymous one. Banksy turns the tables on the only man who has ever filmed him, creating a remarkable documentary that is part personal journey and part an exposé of the art world with its mind-altering mix of hot air and hype. In the end, Exit Through the Gift Shop is an amazing ride, a cautionary modern fairy tale . . . with bolt cutters.
Released in the iPhone App Store on JAN 5th!!!
A pocket sized digital graffiti blackbook designed for recording more than just ink.
DustTag is an iPhone application designed for graffiti writers that visualizes the motion involved in the creation of a tag. Motion data is recorded, analyzed and archived in a free and open database, 000000book.com, where writers can share 3-D animated representations of their hand styles. All tags created in DustTag are saved as Graffiti Markup Language (GML) files, a new digital standard used by other popular graffiti applications such as Laser Tag and EyeWriter. DustTag is fully compatible with the Graffiti Analysis 2.0 software suite, which is available online for free at graffitianalysis.com and can be used to playback DustTag creations from the iPhone on your OSX, Windows or Linux desktop systems.
DustTag was created by artist and Graffiti Research Lab co-founder Evan Roth, and artist and openFrameworks guru Chris Sugrue. Graffiti Analysis is an open source initiative built in openFrameworks and is available online for free at graffitianalysis.com

We always love when Gavin Castleton comes through San Jose and plays at Anno Domini. Here he is performing a bedroom version of his "Sledgehammer" cover using Ableton Live 8, an FCB1010 midi foot controller, an M-Audio Trigger Finger, a Wurlitzer 200A eletric piano, and a Roland JP8000. All effecting (including the vocoder which is being fed from a vocal delay aux send and the JP8000) is done in Ableton. The audio was outsourced to another computer and multi-tracked for a much improved final mix. Due to a total lack of budget (only 2 "cameras"), there are shots of earlier takes mixed in with the final take footage.
Great job Gavin!
Meet Wendel Mc shine. A brilliant young aritst from Mexico City, Mexico. He created this video above because he thinks "you should know where your art comes from." 3rd World is a new body of work that he created for Anno Domini's upcoming annual group exhibition, Fresh Produce. "This body of work is giving you... not just the surface of the art, it's a soul that I'm pouring into it that makes it special." 3rd World is also a component of larger project "La Puertas Abiertas" (The Open Doors) which is an exploration into opening one's consciousness to a different reality. So be sure to keep your eyes open for more from Wendell Mc shine.
