On Saturday the 21st of February, ‘SOFLES – Graffiti Mapped’ premiered at Melbourne’s largest cultural festival, White Night Melbourne. Attended by over 500,000 people between 7pm – 7am, the festival takes over Melbourne’s CBD for a one night only artistic extravaganza.
Many months in the making, ‘SOFLES – Graffiti Mapped’ is an innovative step forward for the world of graffiti and technology. ‘SOFLES – Graffiti Mapped’ explores the intrinsic connection between graffiti, street art and technology through a combination of 3D video mapping, traditional street art and graffiti techniques and motion design.
Over five stories high, SOFLES’ inner city mural is his biggest work to date. Add to that Grant Osborne’s incredibly detailed motion design and a musical score by New Zealand music producer Opiuo, and you have a truly innovative work of art. Visible for one night only, but destined to leave an impression on the city’s skyline Sofles- Graffiti Mapped was one of the most exciting events of the entire White Night Melbourne festival.
