a powerful, visual time-travel interface, devoted to the study of graffiti-covered walls as they change over time. the core of the project consists of a timelapse collage, made of photos of graffiti taken at the same location by many different photographers over a span of several years. most of the photos were taken in San Francisco, New York, & Los Angeles over a timespan from the late 1990's to the present.
