Design & Desire in the Twentieth Century

Thanks to Scott Beale of laughingsquid.com for sharing a link to Daniel Feral’s diagram below and the link to a very interesting resource related to the street art of Graffiti. Graffiti Archaeology takes an evolutive look at Graffiti, specifically how art on particular urban exterior walls changes over time. The Graffiti Archaeology website describes itself as “a project devoted to the study of graffiti-covered walls as they change over time. The core of the project is a timelapse collage, made of photos of graffiti taken at the same location by many different photographers over a span of several years. The photos were taken in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles and other cities, over a time span from the late 1990’s to the present.”

The Graffiti Archaeology project showcases the work of over sixty artists and photographers. Caution: The Graffiti Archaeology website can be addictive, and once you start looking, you might find it hard to stop.
