A current exhibition at the , a contemporary art museum founded by Cartier, is accompanied by an impressive online piece titled [cartier.com] designed by . The website contains a repository of abour 2,400 graffiti signatures, or tags, found in each of Paris's 20 districts between April 24 to April 28. Each tag can be explored to discover calligraphic-like similarities between individual text characters. The 10 most commonly used letters were identified for further study (i.e. A,E,I,K,N,O,R,S,T and U). From each letter grouping, 18 tags were isolated to represent the diversity and range of that specific character.

It's so funny that I should stumble upon this. This morning, my boss sent me a link to Niels "Shoe" Meulman's website, Calligraffiti. Shoe is an artist whose work is directly influenced by the history of calligraphy, and I think he is currently exhibiting in New York.
