Ever wake up in the morning thinking: “why, oh no, I didn’t”? Slap yourself in the shower. Recall the horror. Erase the past. If only! Creative talents Guus ter Beek and Tayfun Sarier, both members of the London team at advertising powerhouse Wieden+Kennedy, might live a cleaner life than I – but their foray into the world of street art hints at a world where buffing what’s gone before is a very real possibility.
Those familiar with the eraser tool on Photoshop will instantly recognise the device through which the design duo are employing their digital turned tangible abstraction. Those who’re not: use your imagination. Wry nod to a society inundated with Photoshopped faces? Medium for channeling disapproval of the bad and the ugly in design? Just a bloody great shitload of fun? There’s limitless things Sarier and ter Beek’s Street Eraser could or could not be saying about contemporary culture, but let’s leave it with the simple words of a Photoshop engineer of 14 years: you guys are awesome. ;)
