Tο γκράφιτι που κάλυψε το Πολυτεχνείο και έγινε σημείο αναφοράς

Σε σημείο αναφοράς της πόλης εξελίχτηκε αμέσως το ασπρόμαυρο γκράφιτι που εμφανίστηκε και καλύπτει το κτίριο του Πολυτεχνείου. Πολλοί περαστικοί σταματούν και το μελετούν, άλλοι το φωτογραφίζουν, ενώ τα ερωτήματα που τους προκαλεί η έντονη παρουσία του γίνονται κάποιες φορές αιτία να μιλήσουν άγνωστοι μεταξύ τους.
Σε άλλους αρέσει και σε άλλους όχι όπως είναι φυσικό.
Θεωρείται ότι είναι το μεγαλύτερο παράνομο έργο μοντέρνας τέχνης που έχει γίνει από γκραφιτάδες στην Αθήνα, και λέγεται ότι το υπογράφει η ομάδα «Icos & Case».
Ο προϊστάμενος της Εισαγγελίας Πρωτοδικών διέταξε τη διενέργεια κατεπείγουσας προκαταρκτικής εξέτασης για το εκτεταμένο γκράφιτι στους τοίχους του ιστορικού κτιρίου, που θα αναζητήσει τους υπαιτίους για την διάπραξη του αδικήματος της «διακεκριμένης φθοράς σε αντικείμενο που χρησιμεύει για κοινό όφελος».
