El Google Cultural Institute, la iniciativa de los de Mountain View que pone a nuestro alcance los tesoros culturales del mundo, ha puesto en marcha el Street Art Project, una sección que quiere convertirse en un catálogo que recopile muestras de arte callejero de todo el mundo, desde Paris a Buenos Aires parando por Säo Paulo, Tánger o Málaga.
El sitio web está configurado a modo de museo virtual y permite explorar las obras de manera aleatoria, mediante visitas guiadas a los orígenes del movimiento grafitero o a partir de búsquedas personalizadas por colección, artista, medio —fotografía, pintura acrílica, spray…—, lugar o incluso por fecha, aunque si prefieres tener una experiencia más interactiva también cuentan con una interesante versión vinculada a Google Maps que facilita no sólo la localización de las obras sino que nos ayuda a contextualizarlas mediante videos que nos sitúan. Además, puedes recopilar y compartir tus obras favoritas creando colecciones privadas o accesibles para otros usuarios.
El catálogo cuenta actualmente con aproximadamente 5.000 obras pero crece día a día sin cesar. Si quieres contribuir al proyecto basta con que subas una foto a Google Plus con el hashtag #streetartproject y tu imagen se sumará a otras obras creadas por artistas de la talla de Banksy, OBEY, Hide Two, Dourone o Grom.
Street Art Project se suma a la oferta cultural del Google Cultural Institute que permite realizar tours virtuales en museos como o MoMA de Nueva York, el Museo Van Gogh de Amsterdam, la Galeria degli Uffizi de Florencia o el MNAC de Barcelona, visitar las maravillas del mundo y explorar momentos históricos como el desembarco de Normandia o el holocausto o la invención del cine. Todo un mar de conocimientos al alcance de todos.
