![]() All diese widersprüchlichen Merkmale findet man entlang des Wiener Donaukanals, einem Freizeit-Hotspot im Herzen der Stadt, berühmt für seine endlosen Graffiti.ĭas zweijährige Projekt INDIGO soll die Grundlage zur systematischen Dokumentation und Analyse von 12,9 km Donaukanal-Graffiti im Laufe des nächsten Jahrzehnts schaffen. Graffiti bringt Menschen zum Lachen, in Aufruhr und zum Nachdenken. Graffiti ist eine kurzlebige Form des Kulturerbes im Spannungsfeld zwischen materiell und immateriell, anstößig und ansprechend. Since storage in the ARCHE repository ensures the necessary digital longevity and free download of all data, INDIGO can realistically preserve and disseminate society’s thoughts and artistic expressions marked upon its walls. Simultaneously, its database size also invites the development of methods to mine and analyse extensive image collections. In this way, INDIGO enables cultural, ethical, legal, or political assessments of graffiti. This web-based interface allows virtual walks along the Donaukanal or the display of graffiti through time, while simultaneously supporting spatio-temporal-semantic questions like “where were all political messages from 2021 located” or “which graffiti was visible for more than three months and featured animals”. The dissemination part is taken care of by a freely accessible online platform that enables scholars, graffitists, and non-specialists alike to visualise, explore, and query graffiti inside the INDIGO database. This database represents a spatio-temporal inventory of all graffiti along Vienna’s central waterway, thus explaining the project’s title INDIGO: IN-ventory and DI-sseminate G-raffiti along the D-O-naukanal. The CIDOC CRM ontology and a novel thesaurus facilitate a semantic database structure with hierarchical, graffiti-related terms. INDIGO ensures (meta)data correctness and completeness through the graffitists’ essential involvement and collaboration with local and international scholars. ![]() The OpenAtlas spatial database manages all these data, along with auxiliary data (like videos) and relevant metadata such as style, artist pseudonym, and creation data. In this way, INDIGO will build a spatially, spectrally, and temporally accurate record of all possible sprayings, engravings and other works of personal expression attached in (il)legal ways to the public urban surfaces of the Donaukanal. All images are processed into detailed, distortion-free orthophotographs and textures for the canal banks’ 3D surface model (provided by the City of Vienna). A bi-annual total photographic coverage should pick up most of the remaining graffiti. Combining the local graffiti community’s engagement with regular visits along the Canal ensures that most graffiti gets colour-accurately photographed soon after their creation. The two-year INDIGO project aims to build the basis to systematically document, monitor, and analyse 12.9 km of Donaukanal graffiti in the next decade. ![]() Danube Canal), a recreational hotspot – located in the city’s heart – famous for its endless display of graffiti. These conflicting traits are all present along Vienna’s Donaukanal (Eng. ![]() Graffiti makes people laugh, wonder, angry, think. Graffiti is a short-lived form of heritage balancing between tangible and intangible, offensive and pleasant. Storage in a certified repository ensures the necessary digital longevity and free download of all data, so that INDIGO can realistically preserve and disseminate society’s thoughts and artistic expressions marked upon its walls This database feeds a free online platform that empowers everyone to explore (through virtual walks or displaying the change of graffiti through time) and analyse (via spatio-temporal-semantic queries) all graffiti records Graffiti community engagement and regular photo visits allow INDIGO to build a spatially, spectrally, and temporally accurate record of most (il)legal sprayings, engravings and other personal expressions on the Canal’s public urban surfacesĪ spatial database manages all images and relevant metadata like style, artist pseudonym and creation data, while the involvement of graffiti creators and scholars safeguard (meta)data correctness and completeness The two-year INDIGO project aims to build the basis to systematically document | disseminate | analyse almost 13 km of uninterrupted graffiti along Vienna’s Donaukanal (Eng. ![]()
