New York Based artist Roland Eriner Tiangco provides an interactive approach to the display of an extremely applicable message in his project titled the ‘Dirt Poster’:
Here, the poster really speaks for itself. By manually applying ink on spot-varnished paper, the spectator takes a direct, hands on role in unveiling the pertinent statement.

we're pretty much just a bunch of young people who love to be inspired, engaged, and active.
the word VELOCITY comes from middle french velocité, from Latin velocitat- ; akin to Latin vegēre, meaning, essentially, to enliven.
VELOCITY was created to showcase the thoughts, actions and opinions of young people our age (the so-called 'millennial generation'). we are doing things that are inspiring, interesting and engaging in our communities, and we are interacting with today's world in ways you might not expect.
the ideas and interviews on VELOCITY demonstrate the fact that sometimes 'experts' are wrong, especially when it comes to young people. We believe that even when it appears that participatory civil society has been lost, there actually exists an entire vibrant culture of dissent and activism occuring in every community.
