Two artists came together this past week for the first time to make physical their Google Sheet renderings for a new proposed mural in Bushwick, whose work was unveiled with a party on Wednesday July 20th at the corner of Thames and Bogart (on the Bogart facing brick wall of Syndicated).
The Art of Collaboration: From Sheets, to the Streets is a partnership between Refinery29 and Google—and is also a fierce, feminist hand-painted mural.
Designed to showcase the perceived limitations of working within the confines of Google Sheets and how a similar roadblock exists for women, the core of the piece conjures an empowering breaking through the glass ceiling-like bliss and was enacted at a technical level via hacking the spreadsheet itself.
