Many of my friends think it's funny when I proclaim that the ad. stickers, posters, and notices I see plastered over the walls in Taiwan, Bangkok, and Hong Kong are a form of 'urban art'. I love the random nature of the paper and characters and how over time the elements transform this form into something entirely new. It changes just like the environment around it.

I have an sound art installation whereby we tried to recreate what I saw (and heard) on the street. Though I spent a great deal of time culling the city for bits and pieces of what is seen in these photos here, it was never 'ugly' enough. It was too planned and had too much attention to detail. But it was one of my most popular installations.

This is a cross-post from my new web blog on Vox. Just what I need another web blog! I consider Vox to be a more restrained and slightly more mature MySpace.
