I Could Do That is an experimental project where members of the public are invited to write comments about works of street art in and around East London. QR codes found by selected pieces of street art are connecting mobile phones to corresponding comments pages on the I Could Do That website. This clever idea allows people to interact around a piece or art on the street like they would a video on YouTube.

In 7 days INSA ran east London, painting 35 pieces along Charlie Dark’s map for The IAM1 Journey Nike Sportswear project. Produced by Protein and documented by INSA’s long time collaborator, photographer Ethel, each of the 35 hand painted pieces form one of the centre pieces of INSAs major London solo show for 2009. This IAM1 Journey animation will be deconstructed within the “Looking For Love In All The Wrong Places” show with behind-the-scenes processes alongside the original painted objects that make up the individual frames.

Street Fest promised to be a “new breed of festival… promoting and merging creative talents”. It did exactly that by putting skaters, artists, fashion designers and a surprisingly loud sound system all under one roof, producing an aura of creativity rooted in true Hip Hop culture.
