“NYC’s True Graffiti Problem”

It's an ad, ad, ad, ad world.

This video was made by the Graffiti Research Lab, a group that, according to their website are “Dedicated to outfitting graffiti artists with open source technologies for urban communication.” Hmm. So here’s their point about advertising being the real graffiti.
