“If you want to understand street art and graffiti, you have to understand how books, movies, magazines, photographs and the internet have affected artists and fans,” explains Rushrore, adding: “[‘Viral Art’] is the most comprehensive look to date at how the internet has affected street art and graffiti. Conceptualizing the internet as a public space, I conclude the book by arguing that the future of street art and graffiti may lie in digital interventions rather than physical ones.”
