Origins of Graffiti Writing

The phenomenon of graffiti , who was born in New York in the '70s, is pictorial and artistic practice that makes perfect the equation between art and life. With the practice of graffiti is done a ' hybridization between mode communication and urban reality: the writings left on the subway, on rail cars and on the walls of the city contribute to microrealtà suburban living associated with the existence of Metropolitan Architecture, or vehicles of mass society. The graffiti left an imprint in walking distracted individuals who live their daily lives through the streets, trains, the walls of their city. Are examples of creativity and identity that travels free.

The identity of ' author of graffiti is not based on his real name, but on the pseudonym that everyone is created and developed to focus the basic quality of his behavior and his way of life. This pen can impersonate the identity through a sign that makes it easier to get feedback. Write a tag or creating a piece on the train means to launch its own identity around the city, with the knowledge that others will respond by showing solidarity or difference.
