Re-imagining the city through digital street art.
VirtualStreetArt.Global connects real façades, silos and public spaces with their digital twins. Artists, students and citizens can create, explore and share virtual murals on a global, low-cost platform built on tools like Google Maps, Photos and YouTube.
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.
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.
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.
Gallery & Map
Explore our virtual artworks directly on the city. Pins on the map connect façades, silos and other urban surfaces with their corresponding digital murals and photo/video documentation.
You can pan, zoom and click on pins to see details. For a full-screen experience, open the map directly in Google My Maps: open in new tab .
Projects
VirtualStreetArt.Global groups murals and routes into projects. Each project can have its own map view, gallery and YouTube playlist.

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.
