AR for the Knowledge and Fruition of Street Art Works

Within the realm of mass communication, city walls have always played a significant role in conveying visual messages, dating back to Roman inscriptions and extending to graffiti and street art (Luggo and Zerlenga, in Disegnarecon 13:1–12, 2020 [1]). Street art emerged as an artistic practice in the 1960s in the United States as a response to the discomfort caused by a policy of marginalization towards ethnic minorities, evolving into an act of rebellion that found expression in the assault on the urban environment. This proto-form is primarily expressed through the tags of the authors, typically young individuals from degraded suburbs who, in actions bordering on illegality, leave their traces of existence on the blank walls of buildings (Acierno and Pagliano, in BDC 20(1):117–138, 2020 [2]).
