They say the coolest thing about #BeloHorizonte is the people. Today we were visiting a friend of a friend, who had a wonderful collection of art on the walls of her apartment. We got to chatting about graffiti, and #GraffitiArchaeology, and she turned around and gave me — GAVE me — this beautiful book. It’s about the CURA art festival, an event starting in 2017 that was responsible for putting up many of the city’s distinctive and memorable murals.

For lack of a better name, I'm calling this style of #timelapse #visualization "cascading time slices".

Now, there are some things #ProjectIndigo is doing that we will not do with #GraffitiArchaeology, like mapping: some of the locations we cover are not known to the public, and preserving that secrecy is important (for reasons we discuss here: http://grafarc.org/news/2011/12/why-graffiti-archaeology-doesnt-have-maps/) The INDIGO folks have wisely chosen a spot that's already hyper-public, so location secrecy is a non-issue for them.

Back in 2002, when #GraffitiArchaeology (http://grafarc.org/flash/view.htm) was just an idea and a shoebox full of photos, we briefly considered doing it in 3D. But image-based modeling was still in its infancy-- the tech wasn't production ready, and 3D on the web wasn't a thing yet, so we opted for a 2D approach.

Here’s a screenshot of #GraffitiArchaeology running on an iPhone. Never thought I’d see the day!

#GraffitiArchaeology is up and running again! Thanks to the beautiful and generous geniuses who created #Ruffle (the Rust-based Flash emulator), old school web art can come back for another round. It even works (sort of) on a mobile phone! http://grafarc.org/flash/view.htm
