How did you get into light graffiti?
After I experienced an installation of Pipslab (NL), the pioneers in interactive light-writing – In 2003, I was asked to take photos of well-known Berlin graffiti Artists Akim & Zasd during their light-performance in 2005.  For them it was just a one-night session, but for me it started to become passion.  As there are no rules and boarders regarding the photos/films you can produce with little efforts, it’s a perfect thing for working actively offline.  That’s when I started in 2005, together with my friend Nash, on photographing longtime-exposure shots with lots of experimental concepts.  Today I combine all skills of multimedia to get my imaginations and concepts visible.

Describe your work/style in three words.
Analogue/digital, urban, conceptual

Who has influenced you and your work?
Vaserely, Picasso, Pipslab, Akim

What are some interesting projects you’ve worked on?

  • Showcase for Sony alpha Camera 2009
  • Interior-designs and the art direction for Tresor Berlin with my crew “The Core” since 2007
  • 1st International lightwrite festival in 2009
  • Hugescale mappings at TresorM, space for contemporary art and music

What are some of your upcoming projects?

  • Development of our studio/institute Schaltraum (http://www.schaltraumberlin.com) – a unique space for digital arts, conferences and multimedia-purposes
  • A China-tour with showcases and lectures at universities this autumn
  • A Documentary film about Detroit’s techno roots
  • An international light-writing book

Do you have any advice for people who want to get into light graffiti?
Go out, and get active.  Make yourself a concept, integrating your ideas in urban environment.  And for sure – less is more.

Why do you love 12Vspotlight?
It´s so mini and bright at the same time that I can always take it with me in my pockets.

Who do you want to give a shout out/ big ups to?
Big up to my crew “The Core,” then to Tresor, especially Dimitri, who always supported me in my projects.  Thanks!

history of the slapper sticker

“HELLO my name is…” stickers are the ultimate ice-breaker.
they’ve been around for years and are a great way to get around the awkward “sorry, I’ve totally forgotten your name” situation!

shortly after their initial creation, these stickers also became a perfect canvas for graffiti artists to show off their skillz.
do an image search for ‘’HELLO my name is’ and see how others have used these fun stickers in the past.

below are some of what the spotlight team came up with…

Flashlight day is here

Don't be left in the dark on National Flashlight Day. The basic requirement for this day, is a flashlight and good batteries. Flick the switch, and you can put anything into your spotlight. We'd like to shed a little light on this special day. National Flashlight Day arrives on Winter Solstice, which is the shortest day...and longest night.... of the year. "Watt" that means, is that there's lots and lots of darkness. With all of those dark hours, your flashlight is apt to get a good workout. You never know when you will need a flashlight. National Flashlight Day is a good day to make sure you and your family know where the flashlights are. Test each flashlight, to be sure the batteries are good. When in doubt, replace the batteries with new ones. It is also a good idea to put a flashlight in your car.

get lit,

Swisher
