totally. i really thought “exit through the gift shop” was just a nice little gift/commentary on- the society of spectacle/the ridiculousness of a decent idea that gets distorted once a decent amount of people get behind it/faking, or no real-ing. REELing? it, to make it. perfectO!
I know plenty of Graffiti writers that just want to get hired by some sweatshop sneaker company- like Nike or Echo. Bansky and Swoon at LEAST got skills and a message.
I don’t care who’s who- as long as you have something to say- writing your name over and over isn’t saying anything but “look at me, look at me!”. No revolution, no social justice, just masturbation.
