The Berliner Dom Projected with Graffiti
3:00AM Mark Wilson | In 1894, when German Emperor Wilhelm II ordered the construction of the neoclassicist Berliner Dom, otherwise known as the Berlin Cathedral, he probably didn’t think it would turn out like this.

MUTO is Among the More Astounding Videos We’ve Seen Online…or Off
12:50AM Mark Wilson | Italian artist BLU is famous for painting politically and socially charged street murals, but his recent project involving street animation may be his most visually stunning.

Street Art is Better with Pixels
11:30AM Adam Frucci | This awesome street art was spotted here in NYC in the East Village, and I love it. Pixelart beats sloppy, illegible tagging any day of the week, thank you very much. Unfortunately, some jackass didn’t agree. At least we have a picture of it in its original state. [Gothamist] More »
