So I'm a little excited. I've been looking over the work of a graffitti-artist who goes by the name of Bansky. Below is a picture of some work he did in Palestine, but he goes all over the world. All over the world fighting the machines. The machines of repression, war, materialism, ignorance, the things that turn people into sheep. Anyways, his site is worth checking out. And maybe even giving some thought too.
West Bank, Palestine 2005.
The security barrier separating the occupied territories from Israel is over 450 miles long and 38ft high. It was deemed illegal by the International Court of Justice but construction by the Israeli government continues.
Is graffiti art or vandalism?
"That word has a lot of negative connotations and it alienates people, so no, I don't like to use the word 'art' at all."
