The ARCHiVe team were able to record the mural in such great detail that an exact facsimile could be made, down to the water stains and crumbling brickwork. In the future, when the painting is restored or disintegrates, Banksy will be able to instruct the resurrection of the mural on the island of San Giorgio or elsewhere in Venice. The recording of the graffiti demonstrates the integral role technology is playing in the preservation of diverse forms of heritage.
