Painting the streets with the web in Indonesia
Friday, March 22, 2013
People around the world are using the web as a platform to both showcase and create amazing local culture. In the last six months, Chrome has played host to some of Indonesia’s finest up-and-coming artistic talent with the
Chrome Open Spaces
project.
From old masters like
Basuki
to contemporary street artists like
Darbotz
, Indonesia has a long and rich history of art. The rapidly growing population and economy has led to densified urban spaces,
crazy traffic
and the rise of
Indonesian street art
. The Chrome Open Spaces project used the web to bring all these elements together.
Designed to showcase the creativity possible with modern web technologies, Chrome Open Spaces called on aspiring artists from across the archipelago to submit drawings via a
custom-designed app
. The app enabled people to create ‘street art’ online using digital spray paints, brushes and stencils. Over
12,000 drawings were submitted
and 11,000 votes were cast. From these virtual paintings, nine winners were chosen to have their creations showcased on buildings and walls across Jakarta and Bandung.
You can check out how their digital creations came to life on the streets and meet the local artists here:
We built Chrome
to help drive innovation on the web
. Projects like
Chrome Open Spaces
highlight how technologies that Chrome pioneered, such as HTML5, can be used to showcase local culture and innovation, and also take you to amazing places — both online and offline.
