Dan Witz will make you jump.

Posted by: Ian – Jul 21, 2010

There's plenty of art that I've seen that creeps me out. Ever since I first learned of H.R. Giger's work via the Alien movies, I've enjoyed a good bit of creepiness in my visual stimuli. But I usually enjoy it in a gallery, or on a screen, and I must say, if I saw Dan Witz's work when I was walking down the street, I might jump out of my skin. This is, fortunately, his intent:

"For this summer’s street art project I’m installing my Dark Doings imagery on highway interchanges, in heavily trafficked bottleneck locations. The idea is that each day, thousands of people stuck in traffic, captive in their cars, roll by my pieces at 2 miles an hour. Almost to a person, the immediate reaction to the pieces seems to be, “WHAT THE FUCK?”, so I’m calling the series, WHAT THE %$#@? (WTF)"

Via Wooster Collective, probably the best source of street art on the 'tubes.
