Musings:

An interesting idea that could be part of it might be the evolution of a wall as it gets painted over and then graffed again and again.

yes indeed pabs - a vital project. perhaps this would be a good place to start documenting empties and the transient street art thats appearing more and more. i wonder what sorta stuffs going on in places like manila and jakarta? looking to do another one here in perth soon anyway... and theres mob doing stuff called the community. i should contact them.

can we upload pix here at all?

yeah, documenting the creation of empties and documentings ones we find would be an essential part of this doco I think.
