Giant Photoshop eraser sticks to London streets
Guus & Tayfun
March 21, 2014
Two creatives behind the ‘street eraser‘ blog are merging the digital world with the analog, sticking their adobe-inspired art throughout London’s urban fabric. The giant playful labels illustrate the familiar grey and white checkerboard pattern, visible when using the eraser tool in Photoshop. Eliminating graffitti from traffic signs, color from mailboxes and portions of billboards, the intervention seemingly reveals a concealed world beneath our own. The team says of the digital tool interrupting everyday surroundings, “we rather like the idea that it’s hiding under the surface of everything around us.”
