Glitch In the Street: Fusing Analogue and Digital Processes

Join TMD street artist, Askew One, for this hands-on workshop fusing analogue and digital processes to create exciting new visual outcomes. Sharing some of the experimental processes developed through his post-graffiti studio work, Askew One will lead participants in creating paint-based compositions using the textures of the urban environment.

About the artist:

Elliot O’Donnell (Askew One) is one of New Zealand's most successful street artists on the international stage. From his roots in Auckland’s graffiti scene during the early ’90s, he has been an integral part of the scene through organising Auckland’s first graffiti festival, setting up multiple gallery spaces (Disrupt Gallery, Gallery With No Name and Studio 40) and publishing both a magazine (Disrupt Magazine) and book (InForm: New Zealand Graffiti Artists Discuss Their Work) showcasing New Zealand graffiti art. Since 2010 Askew One has evolved his art practice into the Post-Graffiti realm, focusing on studio work and large scale outdoor murals. He uses a combination of analogue and digital techniques to create compositions made from 3D scans of random objects and textures from the street. He views these components as a recording of human movement through urban space - like a mass portrait rather than one of an individual.

This workshop is part of The Most Dedicated: Street Art Festival – a selection of new murals painted throughout the Lower Hutt CBD by internationally acclaimed street art collective, TMD Crew. Between 27 and 30 March, see how 15 of the TMD Crew members paint the murals live and turn the city into an outdoor art gallery, adding to Lower Hutt’s existing display of street art.
