Glyphiti
Glyphiti is collaborative online, virtual graffiti software. Visitors are invited to edit and add graphical units or 'glyphs', which compose the image, in real time.
Glyphiti is an online collaborative drawing project. A large-scale projection forms an evolving graffiti wall and visitors to the space are invited to edit and add graphical units or 'glyphs', which compose the image, in real time. The marks made by each person, combine with others and are shown as a time-lapse image stream.
Hanging fabrics being shown at HTTP Gallery for the first time provide a tactile document of recent years of Glyphiti. Unlike most image software available on the Internet, Glyphitifunctions through most corporate firewalls by using standard Web server requests. For the artist, penetrating firewalls acts as a metaphor to graffiti making: both activities necessitate the appropriation of privatised space for visual play.
