When the web and street art meet, the walls can come to life: discover the mesmerizing work of artists like
INSA or
Checko who painted, photographed, re-painted and then re-photographed a wall to create animated street art: the so-called GIF-iti.
Bringing street art into our daily lives
We're also excited to offer new ways of experiencing street art in your daily life - at home, at work, on the go - with the introduction of street art to Chrome, Chromecast, Android Wear and to your
mobile devices.
Turn your TV screen into a vibrant backdrop of street artworks, download new partner apps on your phone or tablet for a tour of
Melbourne's famous laneways,
an art safari in Portugal, or a glimpse of the multicoloured murals that are covering
Delhi,
Lima and
Honolulu. Finally, turn your smartwatch into a colourful artwork with our new
Street Art Watch Faces! And if you want, you can discover a new artwork every time you open a browser tab in Chrome with the new Google Art Project Chrome extension.
So much goes into making a piece of street art. Yet its transient nature puts it at risk of being scrubbed out and lost forever. The Google Art Project allows these works of art to transcend the walls, be transported to your screen and live on. Visit the
Google Cultural Institute and follow
@googleart to discover more.
