The QR codes to preserve graffiti link is great. I wonder how long the QR codes remain in place before being treated as graffiti themselves. Will they stay there longer as they look more official?
Perhaps the council should be doing this to preserve a record of culture and changes to our landscape: Take a picture every time something is changed/repainted and stick a QR code to it to let the visitor review the history of a site.
