Cool.
Filmmakers Z.S. Grant and John Carr have spent the better part of the past year ricocheting around the country, capturing the stories of politically minded street artists for their documentary series, “Voice of Art.” Their eight-episode Web series — currently airing on rapper Pharrell Williams’ YouTube channel, i am OTHER — is as cutting edge and iconoclastic as the neon bright cast of characters featured in it.
Each 34-minute episode is divided into online-appropriate shorts of about 10 to 12 minutes apiece; collectively, they cover art activism of all stripes, including political performance, graffiti muralists and digital tagging, among other topics. The series, which just aired its fifth episode, has featured more than 30 indie and underground artists so far; interviewees run the spectrum of street fame, from internationally known graffiti muralists such as Mear One and Vyal to the new-to-Oakland street artists Griffin One and Ernest Doty.
