Graffiti Stickers: an archaeology of protest, promotion and place-marking in a hybrid world

涂鸦贴纸是一种既定的媒介，用于促进作为数字世界中的印刷技术而蓬勃发展的事业。涂鸦创造了城市街景中个人行动主义的物质和公共遗产。本研究通过调查三个对比鲜明的谢菲尔德地区，探讨贴纸作为一种混合现象，短暂的贴纸和数字网站结合联合收割机，形成抗议，促进和场所建设的行为。利用数码摄影、地理信息系统制图和对在线社区的研究，该项目将调查真实的/数字世界的互动和贴纸活动的地点标记。涂鸦贴纸，一种出现在世纪初的亚文化活动，在城市环境中已经变得司空见惯。它最初与政治运动有关，后来扩大到包括促进亚文化活动和服务。与直觉相反的是，在一个由数字网络主导的世界里，印刷贴纸正在蓬勃发展。贴纸设计已经发展到包括诸如QR码的设备。贴纸已经成为连接真实的和数字世界的一种方法。本项目调查这种混合现象及其作为个人回应当代事件的声音的遗产价值。社交媒体社区的互动已经成为现实世界行动主义的基础，挑战了表达政治和社会变革愿望的既定文化规范。通过考虑从贴纸行动主义中出现的位置，位置，主题和网络，本研究旨在将贴纸作为一种物质实践，将数字社交网络置于物理城市景观中。分析这种动态是必不可少的，如果我们要充分了解贴纸的目的。

Graffiti stickers are an established medium for promoting causes that are flourishing as a print technology in a digital world. Stickering creates a material and public heritage of individual activism in urban streetscapes. This study, by surveying three contrasting Sheffield areas, examines stickering as a hybrid phenomenon where ephemeral stickers and digital sites combine to form acts of protest, promotion and placemaking. Using digital photography, GIS mapping and a study of online communities the project will investigate the real/digital world interactions and place-marking of sticker activism.Graffiti stickering, a subcultural activity emerging in the early 20th century, has become commonplace in the urban environment. Initially linked to political movements it expanded to include the promotion of subcultural events and services. Counter intuitively print stickering is flourishing in a world dominated by digital networks. Sticker design has evolved to include devices such as QR codes. Stickers have become a method of connecting the real and digital worlds. This project investigates this hybrid phenomenon and its heritage value as the voices of individuals responding to contemporary events. The interactions of social media communities have become fundamental to a real-world activism that challenged the established cultural norms for expressing desires for political and social change. By considering the locations, placement, themes and networks that emerge from sticker activism this study aims to understand stickering as a material practice that places digital social networks within the physical urban landscape. Analysing this dynamic is essential if we are to fully understand the purposes of stickers.
