amazing how much there is these days. walking around ximending the other day i thought i was in ny
If it was New York, you wouldn’t have to go to Ximending to see graffiti. You’d see it on the side of your company, apartment building, and probably your car. I am always amazed at the incredible lack of graffiti here, when compared to places like Melbourne (Australia).
sure but there’s been a lot more the last few years.

interesting piece on a valuable piece of graffiti art and an urban dilemma.
Here we are 12 years later and I have noticed a lot more recently.
I have no issues with graffiti artists in designated places doing their thing. But doing it on walls and shuttering, etc., makes the place look like a shithole.
What can a perpetrator be charged with and what kind of punishment would they endure?
Late last year I happened upon two foreigners in Gong Guan writing their Graffiti nonsense on a wall at around 7:00pm. Many people passing by. I said sarcastically that what they were doing was great. They didn’t say a word and left.
it could be 2 years in jail. More usual cases are fine of 1200 – 6000 ntd.

如果塗鴉內容涉及毀損他人名譽，或恐嚇公眾安全，則前者觸犯刑法第三百一十條妨害名譽罪；後者觸犯刑法第三百零五條恐嚇危害安全罪，兩罪都是最高可處兩年以下有期徒刑。
如果塗鴉內容只是單純畫畫，沒有特別意義，則視塗鴉處所在位置各有處罰，如在祠宇、教堂、墓碑或公眾紀念的地方或設施塗鴉，依社會秩序維護法第七十三條第四款規定，最高處以新臺幣六千元罰鍰；如果在他人的住宅題誌、店鋪招牌、交通工具、圍牆、房屋或其他建築物等塗鴉者，依社會秩序維護法第九十條，最高處以新臺幣三千元罰鍰。
另外，遭塗鴉而汙損的建物或設施所有權人，還可依民法第一百八十四條侵權行為之規定，請求損害賠償。

Do you really blame these chaps for trying to spruce the place up a little bit?
I would rather see them having to clean up the walls that don that crap.
