The principle of street art is about exploring a city, the city as a playground and street art's ability to change peoples' perceptions about the streets they live on - to surprise and delight them. The principle of the 3 dongle and Mobile Broadband is the mobilisation of the internet, of people no longer being restricted by landlines and Wi-Fi hotspots.

 

Over the last 6 weeks, we enlisted the help of three very different established illustrative artists to create a limited edition collection of artwork based on their personal artistic response to the dongle. For the fourth piece we looked you guys to find your personal response to Mobile Broadband, and high-speed internet access without wires.

 

Check out the entire gallery and the brief.

 

We're now about to take this art to the streets. Throughout October keep an eye out for the Three Street Work Gallery Collection on billboards around East London. We're also going to be distributing high quality prints free to take home on the streets, a series sticker sheet and limited edition DP poster. The culmination will be the Street Work Exhibition 17-19 October at the Truman Brewery, Brick Lane - come relax and use the internet free, meet the artists and watch a live art project taking place.

The Street Work Gallery will be on Dray Walk at the Truman Brewery (opposite Rough Trade East) open to the public for 3 days. Come and experience Mobile Broadband for free and meet our artisits in a live art installation.

As the dongle allows absolute freedom, conveying this was my main aim with the image. I tried not to be too specific with places you can use it - as the point of mobile broadband is that you can be anywhere, I tried to show this by having lots of fluidity in the image, suggesting landscapes, mountains, water, cities, etc within it merging into one another as though things were moving. I was particularly keen to communicate the feeling of being outside as to me personally that's the main appeal... that you are no longer chained to your desk. I then drew the dongle itself flying through the environment I'd created to show it's mobility.

When I started this brief I began by thinking about the internet, and how it enables people from all around the world to stay connected. Specifically, how mobile broadband means that connecting to the internet is easier than it has ever been before. The freedom the Three dongle provides means that you can have access to it in any place, at any time. This is particularly poignant for me at the moment, as I am living in New York, and rely on the internet to stay in touch with my family and friends back home. So this inspired me to create an image that communicated this connectivity, and the way in which the internet allows you to stay close to people that might be on the other side of the world. With just my laptop and the dongle I am able to sit in a park, or on the train whilst catching up with my loved ones, which is quite a special thing I think!

The 3 mobile "Street Art Campaign" was a very open brief. My response aimed to communicate the energy and mass of information accessible through such a small piece of hardware. I also thought about how fast technology is advancing today in comparison to yesteryear and how 30 years ago no one could have imagined the access to sheer wealth of information and the different methods of communication we have today.

The concept behind this design was the idea of carrying the world with you wherever you go. I wanted to portray the internet as a world in itself that the user can explore. I used a vibrant palette and rolling waves and hills to represent freedom. I also wanted to express that it can be used for work or play simultaneously, so I used the left to represent work and the right to represent play, to correspond with the slogan along the top. I used a rough ellipse shape for the composition to suggest the planet earth.
