Digital Next: Finger Tagging

From our perspective, here at Cnvrgnc, we truly believe the statement that "there is nothing new under the sun."  And from this idea, comes one of our core beliefs: "New ideas are passe. What you want is creative interpretation and great execution". This should pertain directly to the building of your brand with a focus on bringing interesting, creative and valuable ideas, products and services (that are remarkable) to the market.

Now from our little corner of the world we look at the intersection of business, technology and culture as a means to this end.

So anytime I come across a "cnvrgnc product" I always get just a little bit excited.

Graffiti Analyis 2.0 (aka - the dopeness) - Tagging, at your fingertips...

Graffiti Analysis (iPhone) - DustTag v1.0 from Evan Roth on Vimeo.

Self-professed copyright violator and vandal Evan Roth--who also happens to be an artist and co-founder of F.A.T., a Brooklyn-based R&D lab for the public domain, and artist/developer Chris Sugrue created this app that allows graffiti artists to create and database multidimensional tags.

The app is part of an ongoing study in the motion of graffiti. "What Martha Cooper did for archiving graffiti on film, and Chalfant/Silver did for archiving graffiti in video, Graffiti Analysis intends to do for archiving graffiti in code," the site explains. Graffiti artists use the app to create four-dimensional tags that can be saved as GML (graffiti markup language) files and archived at 000000book.com. The project is open source and invites others to use the archived data to create new applications and visualizations.

oh my gawd. That is so hot! Gotta show my nephew. Okay, technologically backward question...the site says the app is available to download for free, but does it mean you have to have a blackbook or an iphone to use it? I know. I know. I should have a mac anyway. Working on it.
