Project Description
“Designated Area” is an interactive installation that takes graffiti art to a more community friendly level. With the help of technology the participant is given an opportunity to digitally draw their own images and also comment on excisting pieces. I wanted to create an installation that would make public space truly public and would give a chance for self-expression.
