Reebok CrossFit: 3D Street Art


Today Reebok CrossFit, a revolutionary strength and conditioning programme, teamed up with artists 3D Joe and Max to break the Guinness World Record for the largest ever 3D street art. The painting measured an impressive 1,160.4m² and was unveiled at London’s West India Quays, Canary Wharf. Here the public were invited to take part in a Reebok CrossFit WOD (workout of the day) on the spectacular artwork.

Une idée qui revient en boucle… et ce n’est pas “cracher son venin” que d’affirmer qu’il ne peut s’agir que d’un plagiat, tant l’originale a circulée sur le web. Où alors il en va de cette idée comme de baucoup d’autres, il s’agît d’un “serpent de mer” (Définition : “un sujet qui revient régulièrement dans l’actualité”)… ou plutôt (comme le dit @p8perplane sur son blog) du serpent qui se mord la queue!

Décidément parfois on se demande qui est le plus “suiveur” des créatifs ou des goélands… La seule idée un peu “fraiche” étant de recycler un Print en Guerrilla… si tant est qu’on puisse appeler cet exercice de recyclage une idée.
