About VirtualStreetArt.Global

A low-cost, open platform for virtual murals, born from the FISART street art festival and redesigned for a fully digital, post-pandemic world.

From physical walls in Timișoara to a global digital layer of street art

Origins

FISART began in 2011 as a physical street art festival in Timișoara (Romania). During the COVID-19 pandemic, a virtual extension was created using Google tools and the platform virtualfisart.enduromania.net.

Today

VirtualStreetArt.Global is the next step: a clear, mobile-friendly website that explains the concept, hosts key projects, and embeds our map-based gallery for exploring virtual murals in real urban locations.

Design principles
Low cost and modular, using existing assets and no-code / low-code tools whenever possible. Mobile-first, desktop-friendly layouts. Minimal dependencies. Every visitor should understand within 10 seconds what Virtual Street Art is and how to explore or contribute.

Projects

VirtualStreetArt.Global groups murals and routes into projects. Each project can have its own map view, gallery and YouTube playlist.

Frankfurt Virtual Route

A curated route of potential and existing mural sites in Frankfurt, including silos, office towers and riverfront structures – connected to virtual artworks and panoramas.

  • Based on Google My Maps (embedded above).
  • Ideal for architecture and urban design workshops.
  • Compatible with World Design Capital 2026 narratives.

Timișoara & FISART Legacy

Selected façades and documented artworks from FISART in Timișoara, re-mapped as digital twins and virtual mural surfaces.

  • Connects festival history with new digital interventions.
  • Can link to existing Google Photos albums and YouTube videos.

Future Routes & Cities

Lima, Wynwood (Miami) and other districts can be added as independent projects, each with its own virtual route and gallery.

  • Each project → own My Maps layer + album.
  • Flexible enough for NGOs, universities and city partners.

Create & Participate

The platform is designed for artists, students, educators, NGOs and city partners to join with minimal technical barriers.

How it works

  • 1. Capture a wall or space

    Take a good photo of a façade, underpass, silo or public structure in your city.

  • 2. Create a digital mural

    Use your favourite tools (Photoshop, Procreate, Krita, etc.) to design a virtual mural that fits the architecture.

  • 3. Geo-locate and upload

    We’ll provide a simple form where you can send the image, GPS location (or Google Maps link) and a short description.

Who can participate?

  • Artists & designers who want to experiment with virtual murals.
  • Students & educators in art, architecture, urbanism or media.
  • NGOs & city partners working on public space and culture.

In this first phase, submissions can be collected via a Google Form or a simple upload workflow in WordPress/Google Sites, keeping the platform low-cost and easy to maintain.

News & Updates

A simple, chronological feed of key milestones, calls and collaborations. Later this can be powered by a blog or automatically fed from Instagram / YouTube.

  • Concept VirtualStreetArt.Global redesign proposal completed – low-cost UI/UX based on existing Google tools and modular pages.
  • Route First Frankfurt virtual route defined and published as a Google My Maps layer (see map above).
