Eltono
Eltono is a french artist who lives in the South of France. His work is based on his interest in what is happening around him and the knowledge which he possess about the nature of the street. His work is present in the Tate Modern, the Somerset House, Fundacion Miro and Artium Museum but he has also worked on the streets in over nighty cities.
The work of Eltonos that I find particularly interesting and inspiring for this brief is his RUFO project. RUFO stands for “Rudimentary Unidentified Frictional Object” and the project consisted of Eltono dragging 11 different pieces of his artwork along the floor on the streets of Russia. This allowed his artwork to interact with the outside world before he displayed it in a studio space. This relates to wayfinding as by taking his artwork onto the streets it meant people were taking the time to stop and take notice of what he was doing and even change there direction to allow them to be able to have a closer look.
