Considering Graffiti as a Digital Genre

• There is a wider sense of community (as seen through forums and websites dedicated to graff art communities with broad user bases, online portfolios that showcase graff art from around the world and easier access of different audiences.
  
  
• While graffiti in its physical form is mostly limited to audiences that come across it in person, or sometimes captured on photos and videos, graffiti in the digital dimension removes the physical restrictions involved. In essence, the potential for more people to find instances of graffiti online is far greater, creating a lot larger audience base.
  
  
• Graffiti as defined in digital form still retains the subcultural elements, largely similar to graffiti in physical spaces. Graffiti online could be considered and extension of graffiti from the physical world, but should not be seen as a linear successor -- graffiti as we classify them online does not replace the established graffiti culture from the streets.
