Urban Markup Language consists of marks, symbols, directional indicators and acronymic text that has been spray painted on and around the urban landscape. This is not graffiti. This is not stenciling. This is not traffic or pedestrian markings found on roadways and crosswalks. However, it is akin to tagging. Urban markup is the transient, functional language of construction and reconstruction.
