Berlin based artist Sweza has come up with a unique way of preserving graffiti. The artist captures original graffiti art and later pastes QR codes where the original graffiti (now covered up) used to be.

Using a mobile code reader app, you can now see the original covered up graffiti art.

I think it’s the perfect marriage of new school, meets old school. New media meets old media.

Very, very clever. I could see this sort of thing catching on.

Also posted on NotCot.org and you can see the original post by the artist here.
