Is this your site chav?
you have to get a scanner form a till at tescos express, connect it to your phone, find the art, scan the code on it, then you can order one and pay, then you will get it in 14 days.
Easy
Ps. been drinking for the last 8 hours so if i have any of this wrong, then tough shit

Thinking back I saw some of these on a wall directly opposite Urban Angel above a load of pasteups when I was at the Part2 show last month.

streetartdealer.com, by bullet on Apr 10, 2009 21:56:03 GMT 1, do you guys understand what it is, because i think i know...
if an artist does a bit of art on the street, like eine for instance. They put a QR code next to the piece, you scan it and it tells you how much the piece would be AS AN ORIGINAL or PRINT.
its not literally taking pieces off the street.
For those of you who dont know qr code, you take a picture of it and your phone decodes it into a message you then read.
if this is the case and this is how i saw it..its a pretty good idea.

it is used all over packaging to send you competitions and to websites etc
its just the UK takes about 5 years to catch up with everyone else as we are stubborn sods.

I would like a 3D television when they come out though, i have an LG at present as it was the most minimal looking one i could find, only watch the News / Corrie and Shameless now though.

Just imagine passing a street piece and been greeted by an ad replacing Gap with a gallery and tank tops with an artist.

streetartdealer.com, by Replete on Apr 10, 2009 22:37:10 GMT 1, And I know with these QR codes you need to actively scan them but this type of street advertising is becoming more apparent.
I was stood at a bus stop in Leeds the other day which had a IR triggered sound ad for "The Boat That Rocked". So every time some one passed a speaker would start playing 60's classics including some tracks I really love but they were murdered by the tinny speaker to the point if it wasn't armour plated and fully contained I would have glady hacked at the wires with my multitool!
There's a lot to be said for word of mouth, or the joy of simply stumbling across something new and the process of trying to find out who did it.
What happened to painting a piece purely for the joy of painting???

streetartdealer.com, by Replete on Apr 10, 2009 23:16:29 GMT 1, The whole thing leaves a bad taste in my brain. I could understand the technology being used on an advertising hoarding for the latest superfluous shoe or handbag but not on street pieces.
I'm spending my entire long easter weekend doing what I love, which is painting a piece on the street. It's not going to be directly in public view, or in a trendy area. It won't have my web address on it and I won't even sign it.
At a later date I may choose to paint it as a canvas but I may not and if I did sell it the money would be used towards going to pay my bills for another month so I can continue to paint on the street. In the last three years I've painted over 200 individually unique hand painted street pieces and of that I've only painted under 10 as mainly one off canvases (half of which were requested as commissions) and released none of them as prints.
Maybe something for other artists in the scene to think about;?

yeap, can't help but think these will just become a target for defacing as soon as they go up. or if anyone was a bit more technically minded just setting up a new website and pasting alternative codes over the top of the proper ones...

This goes against the very idea of street art, where an artist puts up work for the sole reason of putting up a piece and enjoyment from painting. This will just encourage more 3rd rate crap to appear on the street but this time with price tags!

Which is a human connection and you get to learn a hell of a lot more including seeing more of the artists street/gallery works, meeting and conversing with fellow lovers of the works and even learning the artists motives behind the piece or building a relationship with the artist themselves.

streetartdealer.com, by bullet on Apr 10, 2009 23:50:05 GMT 1, i think the issue is here is that they are overselling the 'selling' side of it.
if they said it was an information guide or sorts, so it tells you the artist, the piece and a bit about the artists etc and then maybe offers you the chance to 'get this as a print' it might work better.
going in for the hard sell tends to grind peoples gears.

streetartdealer.com, by Replete on Apr 11, 2009 0:03:09 GMT 1, that's exactly it, too much overselling/commodification as it is which is now putting a lot of people off and is one of the main factors responsible for the current backlash against street art.
You can guarantee that is if you see a street piece by a lot of artists it's just a precursor to an upcoming release as an editioned canvas and/or a print release in x number of colour variations or to promote a gallery show where aforementioned items will be for sale.
The ratio is way off with a lot of artists having a 1 to 1 image ratio of street to canvas/print release.
Here's a novel idea, just because you spent time cutting a stencil out doesn't mean to say you need to repeatedly use it ad infinitum and use every image you use for a release;?
