What is Art on the Street?

May be you just don't know why artists are doing things like street art. It's not always for the money. It rarely happen in Malaysia or Singapore. When there is an artistic activity on street, people tend to see it as begging for money or vandalizing.

Nothing describe art more than this video shared by Can Okuroğlu. One person may just perform his piece on street. And then a random stranger who share the same artistic sense will join. And the whole process is like a chemistry for creativity. It is an evolution, unpredictably fun.


So what do the street artists looking for? The best term to describe is "知音" in Chinese, it means somebody who knows about your art! To seek an audience who will bring you positive feedback about what you do. And the process is amazing... There are many people doing open source, and street art (visual or performance art... whatever it is...) is just an artistic form which is similar to that.
