POPSHis shame is my shame Another sort of empathy, though in a very different context. Japanese tourists caught on camera applying graffiti to the hallowed walls of Florence by other Japanese tourists. Nothing is said on the spot, but the guilty parties are reported to their institutions, who then take action. Shame felt by a fellow national, and then by an institution 10,000 miles away. That is solidarity, though the word is never used in such a context.

POPSThe Cans Festival - check it out if you are in London I read about this a couple of days ago and thought I would look it up. How could would it be to witness this? My brother used to do a lot of graffiti art when he was younger and now is getting back into it. When I was in San Diego last, we went and checked out a park that is set aside for graffiti artists. It was pretty amazing some of the stuff out there. Better to have the kids hanging out there then getting arrested or getting into other kinds of trouble.

POPSLight Graffiti Using LED glowsticks, flashlights, even fireworks, combined with time-lapse photography, light graffiti artists create a unique tagging that wraps around objects dimensionally, allowing them to tag in a way they'd never be able to with spraypaint. Very cool!
