What do you make of this guy??
Interesting stuff, certainly..

interesting yes, art terrorism no.

Banksy has been around for a few years now and isn't really thought of as subversive (apart from by the hacks of the Daily Mail).

Still he does some interesting work and the fact that he gets it in the public view - by that I mean the general public, not just the Guardian-reading gallery-attending public - makes his work far more interesting.

i agree with Lazco.the media has done its distort and defuse job:making banksy out to be some kind of arty bin laden turned establishment detracts from both his art and his politics which are sound IMHO and his primary crime(in societys eyes at least) of graffitiing and making it an artform to graffiti (which it is anyway)

People in Ireland certainly get away with turning their voices into art and some of it I might add, is very powerful and beautiful.

interesting stuff, cheers OM

this 'person's' art scares thee sith outta me, but not in a good way



actually, it bores and fascinates me all at once. I couldn't listen to 'its' output though, you have to draw thee line somewhere.

is that one ov thee 'orridges?

The thingy in the British Museum was in some newspaper (don't remember which one, I read a couple) here in Belgium too... Looked nice to me

Had not heard of the site though, looks good to me, and if it fits in, why not let it be I say... It sure keeps visitors awake (in contradiction to some normal expositions)...
