Google Helps Immortalize The Vanishing World Of Street Art谷歌帮助保存正在渐渐消失的街头艺术 By Emily Thomas 作者：艾米丽 汤姆斯

Street art is far from static in the ever-changing urban jungle.

街头艺术在风云变幻的城市生活中绝不是一成不变的。

Building walls get ripped down, taking with them painstakingly detailed murals; frustrated landlords whitewash over laborious graffiti, and gradually, those impermanent works become nothing but a distant memory.

一座座高楼大厦的被拆除，伴随着它们毁灭的是艺术家呕心沥血创作的精细壁画。沮丧的屋主们刷白苦心创作的涂鸦，渐渐地，这些暂时的作品成为遥远的回忆。

In an effort to immortalize urban art, Google launched the Street Art Project in tandem with a handful of art institutions Tuesday. The new interactive site allows users to get up-close and personal with street art spaces from around the world. Featured spaces include New York City’s late 5 Pointz graffiti mecca and the giant murals adoring the abandoned building walls of Buenos Aires’ Coghlan Art District.

为了保存城市艺术，谷歌和多个艺术机构于周四联合启动了街头艺术计划”。“新互动网址能够让使用者们近距离亲身体验世界各地的街头艺术。

“These works of art that decorate our streets do not always hang about for long, which is why we’re delighted to work with partners around the globe to help them tell a story of street art around the globe,” Amit Sood, Google Cultural Institute's director, told Time.

“这些装饰街道的艺术作品不能长时间留在墙上，因此我们很乐意与全球各地的伙伴合作，来讲述街头艺术的故事。”谷歌文化学院主管阿米特•苏特这样告诉时代周刊。
