CONTRA - TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT (WE MAKE CROP CIRCLES)
Recommended Storage Format: 7" Vinyl

"A new form of graffiti emerges in which people randomly throw paint bombs against various public surfaces - Paint bombs are baloons or some other easily ruptured container filled with paint (Wooster Collective has outlined plans to make such objects with spent lightbulbs) - Paricipants of this subculture to the larger graffiti/street art culture throw these bombs of various colours while passing on bicycles, onto ramdom surfaces. A single participant may throw bombs of many colours although most participants choose a single shade of a specific colour to throw as their signature. As a surface becomes more covered by paint participants become more discriminating with their targets, choosing areas where their colour will mix well with those already present. Other participants may target areas in which their chosen colour dominates, contributing to a minimalist display of subtle shade variations. Factions given to a particular aesthetic within the larger framework of the culture form. The goal of this culture is to form a rainbow patchwork which encroaches upon the brown and grey of steel, brick and concrete, and to break down the hegemony of the pre-determined appearance of the city."
