Grafedia Elevates Graffiti To Art
joredbar writes "Wired.com has a story about a new phenomenon called Grafedia. This is something new that I never heard of before. Grafedia is hyperlinked text, written by hand onto physical surfaces and linking to rich media content - images, video, sound files, and so forth. Grafedia can be written in letters or postcards, on the body as tattoos, on the street, or anywhere you feel like putting it. Viewers 'click' on these Grafedia hyperlinks with their cell phones by sending a message addressed to the word + "@grafedia.net" to get the content behind the link."
Sounds like Garffiti for Metro lamers.
Seems like an interesting idea, but imagine 40 years from now having to explain the grafedia link tatoo. That doesn't sound to brilliant.
What changed under Obama? Nothing Good
Will I be able to use this to get pr0n though?
this totally supercedes festooning the bathroom walls with the phone numbers of the girls who won't date me.
nothing worth possessing isn't possessed. or something.
Way too much potential for tubgirl/goatse abuse here. I can imagine the horrors as the morning commuters follow a "hyperlink" to a giant, stretched rectum to start their week.
In the name of all that's holy... what mad science is THIS?!

I can't wait to see the hundreds of grafiti links to http://www.goat.se
graffiti = crap
then again modern art = crap, so i suppose it does mean that graffiti = art.
Snowden and Manning are heroes.
DON'T DO IT.
Tubgirl.
You have been warned twice.
nothing from gnaa@grafedia.net though, suprisingly.
