HACK THE TOWN

​

​

We believe that everybody is a designer and everything is design in open design projects.

Design is diverse, as it is questioning, analysis, communication, cooperation, feeling, way of life, and an artistic movement too.

Think, ask, communicate with each other, and change.

Sometimes hacking is the first step.

So, we walk around the town and redesign places with augmented reality. 

This is how we create surreal, virtual graffiti in three dimensions.

While we follow the philosophy of graffiti we can show opinions and feelings about our environment, with our town-hacking project.

Such a design approach can be mixed with some kind of civil street art,

as it represents how many ways people can think about a certain place.

No matter where you live, no matter what you do,

however, you always can express your opinion with the tool of art. 

The theme can be anything; a famous classical place, a modern building, nature, or a simple, cheap, abandoned urban place. 

On the one hand, hacking a historical scene can free strict and old-fashioned rules and approaches, on the other hand, hacking a poor urban area can draw attention to these abandoned places.

Therefore, this project can show an approach, of shared knowledge, creativity, and a socially active future.

The aim is to motivate people and communities to express their opinion or creativity, and also to draw attention to the immediate environment.
