Valentine’s Day Street Art
<p>Love in street art isn’t like love in Hallmark cards.</p>
<p>Street artists push the boundaries of love and what Valentine’s Day can be about.</p>
<p>I don’t claim to have done <em>the</em> definitive <strong><em>Love in Street Ar</em>t</strong> study but I’ve made a start. As usual, my source is the <strong>Google Street View database</strong>, all the street art recorded either by the Google-Cam on the Google-Car or by private individuals, like me, who have uploaded hi-resolution 360 degree images.</p>
<p>I use the images in two ways. One is to simply make one image the entire view, as if we are standing right where the Google-Camera took that exact picture. In the AltspaceVR social VR platform, this technique is referred to as a <strong><em>Skybox</em></strong>. Like Jim Carrey was under all the time in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Truman_Show" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><em>The Truman Show</em></a>.</p>
<p>The same image recorded by the Google-Cam can also be made into a smaller version of the Skybox called a <strong><em>Photosphere</em></strong>, which has one important difference —it’s an object, a sphere with an image mapped to the inside.</p>
