Graffiti may be ephemeral, but then there’s Google Street View with its all-seeing camera. Inspired by Google’s recent to move to let users go back in time in Street View, Brian Foo at the New York Public Library Labs thought he could make us look at street graffiti from a new perspective—through time.
Here’s the wall at Bowery and Houston in Manhattan, a concrete slab with a rich history of paint. Foo collated a dozen pictures of the wall from 2007 and created a fun tool that lets you slice and dice your way through history.
