STREET WRITER
- Date and Time:
- November 1st – 5th
Spatial Message Board!
The STREET WRITER app. Developed by artist Tochka, is a web AR tool designed for drawing on smartphones and tablets.
This concept originated from workshops with children and was designed to allow free expression through graffiti without concerns over legal constraints or privacy. We are looking into its potential as a supportive tool for education and art therapy in the future.

AR workshop design: TOCHKA
In 1998, they formed the filmmaker/creative duo “TOCHKA”. They invented the animation production method “PiKA PiKA”, which combines the techniques of long exposure photography and stop motion animation. By using light to draw lines in the air, anyone can create animation. TOCHKA’s fields of activity range from experimental animation to contemporary art.
Their film “PiKA PiKA Lightning Doodle Project” won the Grand Prix in the Lab Competition at International Short Film Festival, Clermont-Ferrand 2008. Their film “TRACK” won the Grand Prix in the non-narrative short category at Holland Animation Film Festival 2016

“→” is a video installation viewed on a device that resembles an upright arcade game.
The video on the monitor follows a side-scrolling game, in which the character in the middle of the screen moves forward only one step by pressing a button on the right side of the control panel. Normally in games, there are set obstacles and goals, but in this work, moving to the right, as the title suggests, plays a random ‘animation.’ The viewer can ‘walk’ until they get bored, and the number of steps taken is recorded on the LED at the top. A “kick” button is installed on the left side of the control panel, allowing the viewer to kick stones by the roadside. The low-resolution pixel art leaves room for individual personal imagination to intervene, and functions as a device to weave a story unique to the viewer.
