La Noche en Blanco: Graffiti Virtual by Max Gold

After being wowed by the Deambulants and other sights of La Noche en Blanco, I made my way to the Caixaforum building of Madrid to see more. Pushing through the crowd to get closer, I gaped in awe at the enormous exhibition called Graffiti Virtual created by the Catalan collective Omnivor Lab. Consisting of a series of animated digital graffiti projected onto the building's facade, the effect of these ominous projections, depicting graffiti of people doing graffiti, contributed to the dream-like quality of the nocturnal festival.
