Here are a few interesting links that I'd like to share. They are from last weeks group presentation on "Detroit Digital: On Tourists in the Apocalypse" by Marcel O'Gorman (http://www.ctheory.net/articles.aspx?id=586)
Detroit Blog- http://www.detroitblog.org/; politics, urban exploration, news, photos and commentary about the city
Paint Cans and Politics- http://www.paintcansandpolitics.com/index2.html; documentary film following two grafiti artists in Detroit, Michigan; I've looked at Blockbuster and Rogers Video for it but I still haven't found it. If anyone is interested in seeing and finds it somewhere let us know so we can also watch it :)
Bodies and Code: Detroit Digital/Serial Consign- http://serialconsign.com/2007/12/bodies-and-code-detroit-digital; blog, references the article as well
Wooster Collective- www.woostercollective.com; graffiti art from around the world

i watched the clips on the paint cans and politics and im a bit interested. im not sure if i feel for the graffiti artists of the detroit police. i've always been interested in graffiti art but something the officer said in the clip really made me think. if people think that detroit is so lawless that they can come in from out of state and spray paint up the place than there is a problem. i do feel that this activity is adding to the problems of detroit though it is beautiful in a strange way too. as i mentioned im not entirely sure what to think here. but i can imagine that this kind of activity is upsetting to the many community groups trying to clean up the city.
