街头艺术和政治活动在塑造城市景观方面有着丰富的历史。我们的工作探索了公共艺术家和政治活动家为公共空间做出贡献的过程，为HCI研究人员提供了与塑造我们城市美感的人接触的机会。我们提出了WallBots-自主的墙壁爬行机器人，作为一种研究探针，用于在各种表面和难以到达的地方进行公共表达，包括公共汽车站，白板，路灯杆，垃圾桶，移动车辆和建筑墙壁。我们将WallBots评估为公共艺术家和活动家的低成本DIY创作工具。我们对六个为公共空间做出广泛贡献的人的研究，为基层公共表达背后的材料和实践提供了见解。然后，我们利用参与者的反馈，其中包括涂鸦艺术家，光画家，政治活动家和街头音乐家，以评估操纵WallBots作为一种媒介，在一系列表面上的公共表达的互动技术。我们的研究结果揭示了街头艺术背景下技术干预的研究空间，我们得出结论，磁动力系统的设计见解是支持公共空间参与，表达和创造力的一种方法。
Street art and political activism have a rich history of shaping urban landscapes. Our work explores the processes by which public artists and political activists contribute to public spaces, introducing opportunities for HCI researchers to engage with the people who shape the aesthetic feel of our cities. We present WallBots-autonomous, wall-crawling robots as a research probe for public expression across a wide range of surfaces and hard-to-reach places, including bus stops, whiteboards, streetpoles, trashcans, moving vehicles and building walls. We evaluate WallBots as a low-cost DIY authoring tool for public artists and activists. Our study of six individuals who extensively contribute to public spaces offers insights into the materials and practices behind grassroots public expression. We then leverage feedback from participants, among them a graffiti artist, light painter, political activists, and street musician, to evaluate interaction techniques for manipulating WallBots as a medium for public expression across a range of surfaces. Our findings expose a research space for technological interventions in the context of street art, and we conclude with design insights for magnetic kinetic systems as an approach for supporting engagement, expression and creativity in public spaces.
