The latest edition of Upper Playground’s Walrus TV features legendary New York based street artist WK Interact. Inspired by the concepts of movement, gesture, and place, WK Interact’s site-specific pieces have garnered notoriety through the obvious concern for spatial context with which he approaches each location and through his fluid depictions of figures in motion. Blurring lines between street art, fine art, and design, WK Interact has exhibited in galleries internationally and collaborated with brands such as Nike, Adidas, and BMW. Check out the above interview from Walrus TV and “The Run Up” to learn more!

Dazed Digital catches up with Nigo and Jun Takashi.
