Graffiti Analysis 2.0 official launch
Day 3 of GML Week brings us the first major update to a project that I started working on back in 2004 as part of my graduate thesis research. I have teamed up with artist and OpenFrameworks bada55 Chris Sugrue to create Graffiti Analysis 2.0. The GA2.0 software suite consists of (i) the Capture application (PC/OSX/Linux), which records graffiti tags in motion and exports them as .gml files; (ii) the Playback application (PC/OSX/Linux), which imports .gml files and creates data visualizations based on gestural graffiti movement and (iii) DustTag (the GA2.0 iPhone application), which captures graffiti tags and uploads them directly to 000000book.com, an open online database of .gml data. GA2.0 is an ongoing initiative that has been used to capture data from prominent graffiti writers including SEEN, TWIST, AMAZE, KETONE, JON ONE and KATSU, all of which can be downloaded for playback at graffitianalysis.com/tags.
GA2.0 is available online for free in an effort to build the world's largest archive of graffiti motion data and encourage collaboration between graffiti writers (by uploading data) and hackers (by building systems which utilize that data).

I caught the last Hong Kong show of the LMF Wild Lazy 10 year reunion tour on Sunday. It was epic to say the least, rebel music is alive and well in Hong Kong. Can't wait for the next one in 2020. Big ups to MC Yan, the LMF Clan, DJ Frankie & DJ Prepare (who both threw down a nice set at the half). Photos from Michele: MC Yan GRL shout out! (Thanks Prepare for the backstage footage):

Graffiti Analysis iPhone Edition: DustTag DustTag is an iPhone application designed for graffiti writers that visualizes the motion involved in the creation of a tag. Motion data is recorded, analyzed and archived in a free and open database, 000000book.com, where writers can share 3-D animated representations of their hand styles. All tags created in DustTag are saved as Graffiti Markup Language (GML) files, a new digital standard used by other popular graffiti applications such as Laser Tag and EyeWriter. DustTag is fully compatible with the Graffiti Analysis 2.0 software suite, which is available online for free on the DOWNLOADS page and can be used to playback DustTag creations from the iPhone on OSX, Windows and Linux desktop systems. Graffiti Analysis: DustTag was created by Chris Sugrue and Evan Roth in OpenFramewerkz. For more information and source code go to the DustTag project page. Download from Apple App store Note: The current version of DustTag is available for iPhone OS v3.1.2, but will shortly be updated for compatibility with v3.0 and higher.

FAT members have been hard at work standardizing various open source graffiti-related software packages, including Graffiti Analysis, Laser Tag and EyeWriter to be GML compliant. Please stay tuned to FAT all this week as we publish new GML related projects each day. There will be multiple new free software releases, open data repositories, iphone apps, robots, guest bloggers and more. GML week is now officially open for business. The GML development team consists of Theodore Watson, Jamie Wilkinson, Chris Sugrue and Evan Roth. We can be found in #fatlab IRC (irc:// link) *Originally posted on fffff.at.

Graffiti Analysis iPhone Edition...
A pocket sized digital graffiti blackbook designed for documenting more than just ink.
(Free as in freedom, not as in free iPhone apps.)
GML Week!!! (Graffiti Markup Language)
GML week has just started @fffffat! Graffiti Markup Language (GML) is a new XML file type specifically designed for archiving graffiti tags. Gestural graffiti motion data of a tag created in GML-supported software is saved as a text file with a ".GML" extension.... a new digital standard for tomorrow's vandals.
Commented example GML code can be viewed here.
tempt-109.gml - GML data from TEMPT1 using EyeWriter.
she-155.gml - GML data from SHE using Graffiti Analysis 2.0 (coming very very soon).
