SAV-IT: A software tool for interpreting and presenting dynamic Street Art image maps

The purpose of this paper, is to present "Street Art Variation - Interpretation Tool" (a Street Art interventions 1 collection software tool) while unfolding the polymorphic character of its culture. Street Art is a method of expression, which can communicate thoughts, emotions and messages via images and symbols to everyone. The SAV-IT involves and expands the visual communication element of Street Art. The visual interventions can be anatomized with the creation of intense and compelling image maps of interconnected art works. Thus, the system exhibits all the unique ways each artist creates from their own perspective, influenced by the general context they interact with. The SAV-IT offers a well-organized and well-structured environment, based on a relational database. Not only are the interventions fully explained and assorted into categories such as message, technique, style and aesthetic, they are also categorized according to their subordinate characteristics such as size, surface etc. Since the former one share the basic features with which each artist works so as to communicate reflections, they constitute the core parameters of categorization.
