Graffiti
People have been writing on walls for as long as there have been walls. Roman scratchings at Pompeii, Norse runes cut into Hagia Sophia by bored guardsmen, medieval names in church plaster, Kilroy travelling with an army, and then the modern practice: Philadelphia in the late 1960s, the New York subway, and from there almost everywhere. The archive follows the surfaces and the tools as much as the names, and it keeps the parts that usually get left out, including the buff that removes the work and the galleries that sell it. Most of what is here was illegal when it was made. That is recorded rather than argued about, and writers appear by the tags they chose rather than by names they did not publish.
A chronological documentary of 1,563 moments spanning 350 BC–2026 on Loreline.

Eras
- Ancient, Inscription before the modern practice: Pompeii, Ephesus and the classical world, where the impulse to write on a wall is already fully formed.
- Medieval, Islamic conquests, Norman invasion, Crusades, Mongols, Hundred Years' War, Reconquista. The medieval centuries that produced the polities Europe would carry into modernity.
- Kilroy, The wartime inscription that travelled with armies, and the wall writing of the mid twentieth century.
- Philadelphia, Where the modern practice begins. Cornbread and the writers around him were working in the late 1960s, before New York became the centre.
- Subway, New York trains and the system they ran on, through the 1970s and 80s.
- Wildstyle, Letterform as the actual subject: the styles built to be read by other writers.
- Trains, Rolling stock as a surface, from the subway era to freights and European lines.
- Cans, The tools. Paint, caps and markers, and how the hardware shaped the line.
- Buff, Removal, cleaning and repainting, which is as much a part of the record as the work itself.
- Stencils, Cut and sprayed work, and the stencil as a way of repeating an image.
- Murals, Large-scale and commissioned wall painting, including the programmes built to redirect writers into sanctioned work.
- Galleries, The move indoors: exhibitions, auctions and the commercial afterlife of an illegal practice.
- Documentation, The photographers and filmmakers whose work is the reason most of this survives at all.
- Berlin, The city, and why it suited this music. Not a birth: UFO was running in the West from 1988 and Frankfurt had a techno club from 1984. What the Wall's fall supplied was space, a vacant middle of a city with power still connected and nobody clearly holding the deeds. Mitte and Friedrichshain, the vault, the power station, the squats, the river, Hard Wax, and the closures and rent rises that keep taking rooms back. In March 2024 "Techno Culture in Berlin" was added to Germany's national inventory of intangible cultural heritage, administered by the German UNESCO Commission, which is not the same as UNESCO's international list however the headlines ran it.
- Pichacao, The Sao Paulo tradition of tall angular lettering climbed onto building faces, distinct from anything in the American record.
- Europe, European scenes beyond Berlin: Paris, London and the continental networks.
- Global, 2002–2014. First World Cup in Asia, first in Africa. Zidane's headbutt. Germany 7-1 Brazil. The Women's World Cup audience grows beyond the USA. Spain's tiki-taka peak.
- Now, Contemporary skating, from the current professional circuit to what happens in a car park on a Tuesday.
- - 6003 - Venezia - Arsenale - Scritta runica su leone greco (1040) - Foto Giovanni Dall'Orto, 3-Aug-2007.
