This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
This is cool, but also makes me feeling like we poured asphalt over a masterpiece.
I mean we paved over cities to make room for cars, so not wrong
Don’t it always seem to go, thatchcya don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone.
We didn't really though. Even the Romans built roads, we've always needed a way to move food and goods.

Exactly! Makes me think of things I have heard and read about historical sites getting worn down by visitors or people finding artifacts while digging in their garden.
Until the weather becomes slightly warmer or colder or something drives over it.
Art doesn't have to be perfect or permanent though
Even if the artwork starts to crack, that sounds better than just sitting there being a pothole.
Or untill it rains and people slip and fall
Yep, then it starts to crack.
I think it looks so cool when things are repaired in a different style like this
There is probably not an easy way to do that on the spot. Do you think the artist traces out the dimensions and then makes the piece at home and brings it back?
No they just pour in the mortar and then put the pieces in. The ones that do pictures like a cat or a bird or something premake the picture part and then fill in the pattern surrounding the picture afterwards. This particular french artist does it anonymously in the middle of the night.
Here in the UK people spray paint giant dicks on the floor around the potholes. A slightly alternative way of annoying the council into taking action.
Is that considered legal? If someone makes a graffiti is illegal in most places. Would the police stop him ?
They'll stop anything out of the ordinary.
An artist in Rouen, France also filled the stone courthouse’s WWII shelling holes with Lego’s.
