All I’m saying is…there are a lot of stairways in Pittsburgh that could use some loving.

Remember those USB Dead Drops? The street installation by artist Aram Bartholl made a physical P2P network. 

Well, now there are DVD Dead Drops. Insert a blank DVD into the wall and it’ll pop out a few minutes later with an art exhibition burned on it.

Reclaiming broken city spaces

I started thinking about this when I saw these geode pieces by Paige Smith on Colossal today. It’s rad to see artists reclaim these broken areas of walls and sides of buildings. They take a small space that would make you think about how your city is marred and broken, and insert some color and wonder into them. 

Not all street art is vandalism and few street artists are vandals. They’re guerrilla installation artists trying to change the way you see your city. 

Here are a few projects I’ve seen and loved over the past year:

Legos bricks in place of cement patches

Aakash Nihalani

Pittsburgh’s own Alberto Almarza creating the tiniest of installations
