University of Edinburgh launches Spellbinder – “Invisible Graffiti” only viewable through mobile phones

Ahh, graffiti, the universal art of street artists and ruffians alike (depending on how you look at it). The ubiquitous “street art” has taken a high-tech twist at the University of Edinburgh. The BBC reports that researchers at the Division of Informatics have launched their “invisible art” project, dubbed Spellbinder.
As the title suggests, the graffiti is invisible to the naked eye. When a digital image of a building is sent via MMS to a special server, “powerful image-matching algorithms” determine which building it is and send back an image with a bunch of added digital content – the “graffiti.”
If you happen to pass through Edinburgh, head on over to the university. Your run-of-the-mill cameraphone with MMS turns your run-of-the-mill walk on campus into an exciting, high-tech hunt for geek graffiti – we’re calling it “geekriti.” What we wouldn’t give to be back in school and have “geekriti” plastered all over our local college campus. It’d probably help us actually make it to more lectures this time around.

80% of the talent behind graffiti is having the balls to show it to THE WORLD, and hell, to even get it on the walls in the first place. I don’t care if you digitally add a photo of your mom to the White House—they got no talent, only too much spare time.
To those students who call this shit graffiti:
Grow a pair of balls, get laid, and get out there.
None of these guys have the balls to even tag a bus stop, this isn’t graffiti, it’s just Photoshop.

yo dog that so dope its sick!!!!!
I like it think that it is cool never seen anything like it!!!
I would say it was cool if it were real but that is obviously a photoshop job. There’s no way thats real because noone would be able to graffiti the whol building without getting caught and secondly, if you can only see it through your mobile phone then how in the world were they able to create the job without f**king up? Not possible but nice try anyway.
pretty badass
