Technology has become more important than art (Letters, Oct. 14)
Graffiti is not usually valued as high art when it is spray-painted on city surfaces. ThatB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s when it becomes a public nuisance.
Much of the graffiti IB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ve observed locally has no higher messages of rebellion against authority or the artistic expression to be gleaned.
ItB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s just a mess that has to be cleaned up at someone elseB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s expense.
If graffiti is to become acceptable, it needs to be created by artists who are not hooded men doing their work under the cover of darkness.
