Hi everyone,My essay will explore the ephemerality of street art by focusing on AC/DC Lane in Melbourne, using pictures of the same wall/location with different murals painted on it as stops at multiple times throughout the year. The essay will discuss how ephemerality keeps street art relevant in the digital age since the same wall will have very different murals on it over time. I have been collecting pictures of the same wall over time to illustrate this concept and have also found old articles written about the AC/DC lane with pictures of that same wall covered with different murals. My essay will also highlight how photographing street art immortalises once short-lived art and rise of legal street art lanes has made street art more tourist-oriented, accelerating its ephemerality and pushing some artists back to illegal street art for longevity.

To what extent is Street Art part of the internet? What role do urban spaces play in the society of the spectacle now that a digital geography dominates so much of our world? You might begin researching this discussion with academic material from Debord (The Theory of the Derive and The Society of the Spectacle) or Rushmore (Viral Art).

These are the arts that emerged from urban environments and public spaces. Artists use various techniques, including stenciling, mural painting, and spray painting, to create visually striking and often politically or socially charged artworks. This challenges the traditional notions of art and engages with a broader audience outside the confines of galleries.*1 pointInstallation ArtMixed Media ArtStreet Art and GraffitiEnvironmental and Land Art
