Graffiti: Art or Crime?

[MrMikeludo]

In 1480, Leonardo da Vinci produced the world's first, and only, visual music equivalent. This is what enabled art to acquire the title of "Art." This visual music contains a mathematical syntax. Experiencing of this visual music requires a developed cognitive capability. Any picture which does not contain this syntax is "noise."Graffiti is the visual equivalent of glass breaking, bombs exploding, and tires screeching simultaneously. It is defined "noise," and factually intellectually offensive.

[Killerschildkroete]

Crime, looks like shit.

[theJacobPatterson]

lol you found Banksy? It's both art and crime.

[TheKiketag]

it a creative, artistic, crime

[Memberotto]

It's art, the feds are just too uncultural too realize. So is the government.

[drizlax]

Fukn twinks mate! Wack c@nts! - Rigorous recordings in the heezeee!! Pz

[210dd]

whats the song at the start??

[nightgobblin88]

song 4:34 please?

[enjoiphil]

@nightgobblin88 Take It Personal - Gangstarr

[antwizzle79]

...as long as it looks good then its art. But if it looks like some garbage then it should be a crime.

[memorator79]

does anybody knows what`s the name of the amon tobin`s track from 2:53 in the video? thanks.

[memorator79]

found it, it`s 'get your snack on''

[themonkwithin]

graffiti is a crime and art so stop asking the questions it is art that is frowned upon on because we writers make the plane boring walls that you find anywhere look interesting

[cole199]

@themonkwithin it can be art though, as long as it is on your own property or you have permission from a company/buisness it is ok, watch what you say there is many diffrent circumstances for graffiti. the people running around at night tagging can go fuck themself though

[themonkwithin]

@cole199 i completely agree with you for all the fuckers that run around night are not doing art that is pure vandilism

[hamburgerlad]

@cole199 Hey man, watch your grammar.

[PLAYER69LK]

wft??? krylon is for toys!

[hamburgerlad]

@PLAYER69LK Yeah. Everyone knows Rust-o is way cheaper. Don't know about quality, though.

[DJsorama]

easy muffin love that song lol

[joshjs667]

when graffiti is done right it looks amazing but when you get some little kids shitty tag it looks awful i would love to see some proper graffiti done my end of england

[myroflcoptergosoisoi]

Google search 'Banksy'.

[joshjs667]

why ? are you telling me too google banksy

[myroflcoptergosoisoi]

(Real grafitti)

[myroflcoptergosoisoi]

Oh, wait... it's all in the side bar... Lol, nvm.

[joshjs667]

lol i have seen banksy alot love his stuff and dont care that he is a sell out

[myroflcoptergosoisoi]

Why's he a sell out?

[joshjs667]

@myroflcoptergosoisoi well people think he sold out because he sells his work in galleries and graffiti is menna be about free street art for every one but to be honest if some fat cat offerd me millions for graffiti id say yes

[james123454321]

Yeah banksy is great a little over him though now, you do realize you in your first comment your saying graffiti is only ok when it is to your taste, some people might love that kids 'shitty little tag' and i think thats a large part of the argument what is art. i personally am quite PoMO and feel everything is art.

[joshjs667]

well yeha i guess but i supose my opion of art is when it either looks good or it has a meaning to it and by shitty tags i ment the ones that are all dribbly like draw by some one who cant hold a can props xxxxx

[fr8ARTruleZ]

Graffiti is art. Period.

[myroflcoptergosoisoi]

There is a MASSIVE difference between Tagging and Grafitti.

So, Grafitti is indeed art, which is still a crime, but Tagging is for imature children who have nothing better to do than to deface a wall with their ugly name.

If I had my house 'Grafitti'd' with something that actually looked good, I would care, I'd leave it there.

But Taggers? "I want to get my name up wherever people can see it." Yet they hide it in corners...

Losers...

[myroflcoptergosoisoi]

My view:

Grafitti = Beautiful

Tagging = Ugly

The laws view:

Grafitti = Bad

Tagging = Ugly and bad

[fr8ARTruleZ]

The laws are retarded and fucking wakkk...

[fr8ARTruleZ]

I love it when there is tagging on a buffed wall. Fuck the buff. Tagging is better than that ugly shitttt.

[myroflcoptergosoisoi]

Tagging is horrible, look up "Grafitti Art" on Google, that's the stuff I like.

Anyway, it was only one persons opinion, so what does it matter.

[fr8ARTruleZ]

Well of course people like that kind of graffiti. If only we had more graffiti with colour and style like what you like...

[myroflcoptergosoisoi]

Good on you.

[james123454321]

Graffiti: Art and Crime.

[adachu799]

@james123454321 Correction Graffiti: Art, Crime and alot of fun!

[jailerdee]

TBH i dont really like banksy's work and i do not think it is 'graffiti'. it is more political and expressing freedom of speech.

Whereas graffiti is painting pieces and bombs to get your name up. On another note, if graffiti was legal it would defeat the object, 'Real' graffiti is a crime..

its part of the thrill. COPE2, T KID, OKER, JA is real graffiti

[bogoLeader]

ART 100% and is it the music Life's So hard???? O.o by Tupac??

[Poweredize]

this is art

[viejaararaa]

Fuck you guys this is artt :DD!!

[seksiersist]

is it to much to ask for a bit of both?

[ahsnuffleerps]

I love Banksy and all his work his political views are amazing. i don't think that just mindless tagging is art THAT is just stupid and a waste of space . but many people disagree but they just don't get it.

[shilomatova]

graffiti is bullshit! pathetic and annoying ..NOT ART!!!

[aknipe106]

shit , he copied a diferent vid and pasted shitty questions

[REDtron9000]

Its Fucken Art At Its Purest Form.!!!!

RED One

[drumz]

ganyan ang grafitti hindi ung gangster na mga poser!

[faceless216]

KRYLON is pure Shite!!! Who is this kid? WTH sheperd Fairy is a byter! and banksy has style but theres much better. But the rest was pretty good man. Nice work.

[afsbjha]

its art

i think society will develop and allow graffiti.

look at the reinassance artists

loads of people ridiculed them because apparentley they were "commiting a crime"

at least thats my opinion

[anokpiecer]

u dont know shit about real grafftit

krylon as best paint

are u a retard

but yea all graff is art

[gamermau]

definitly art, periot

[sk8rfr8r]

its both , thats what makes it its own thing

[thesuper0ne]

heres the thing all a matter of perspective no one ever said that its not an art they just say that the art is a crime thats why its refered to as artcrimes. writers do it to express themselves vandals do it to destroy as much as i would love to see it legal it never will be. I believe its an art and you cant change that

STAY UP,

THE SUPER ONE

[HOSEDAGREAT]

dude its art and a crime.its consider art when its a nice piece,its a crime when people pick up a can and tag like gang related stuff.

[WoWJakfrost]

Nah, even the pieces get buffed, I refer to it as "a beautiful crime".

A writer named Toomer once said "People say they like the big colorful pieces but not 'that taggin shit' what they don't understand is that a tag is your structure, the tag turns into a bomb, the bomb into a throw, the throw into a peice."

[kazaneth]

making the window translucent instead of clear is a wreckless crime

[BlueOceanBelow]

It's 100% art and it's 100% crime. There doesn't have to be a separation. Just because it isn't right doesn't mean it isn't art!

[cwalk1991boy]

true that! thats exactly wat it is. well said

[bippy333]

that pic is not !!!!!!!!!!!! banksy

[BattleBrook]

[inkrunnerup2]

lol no not all graffiti writers use kylon ...

montana

spanish montana

Belton

[homer091]

their no shade of gray. a good graffiti writer is artistic and does it ileagaly often, a bad writer is highly artisticly challenged and doesnt get his work up alot. art or crime? it has to be bouth to be called graffiti.

[dirtyal1234]

crime. this typically occurs in crappy areas. if the graffitti artist was any good he could b hired to paint buildings legitimately.

what a boring video. i will give it one star.

[ZeBlackCat]

Placement or budget use has never changed art to crime, however people's own perspective to divide art from crap is the only thing in the way.

[homer091]

well its not graffiti if its not ileagal, and people do get paid do paint walls legitimately. as for creepy areas?? a real writer wouldnt limit themself like that.

[FatNasty919]

WHAT?! KRYLON?! ARE YOU FUCKING JOKING ME?!?! Your friend right there donsn't know shit!

[ilovepinkratss]

its all about Montana gold edition biatches. fuck krylon pfffff

[nopants604]

graff is art but yes ur rite it is crime in a sense and toys give a shit name to us fuck toys they have no life and fuck around with dollar paint and only fuck around for fun not for the art and have no clue what they r doing and in turn ruin us the real writers

[FatNasty919]

Man, shut up, you are a fucking toy. You dont know shit, stop acting like you do.

[Str187]

no need to argue.

A-R-T of the streets....

[AngelDidntDie]

graffiti is an artistic crime...but a crime none the less...and thats the way it has to be..if it were legal every little pussy toy would be out there with a magic marker..with the illegality of it we atleast filter out some toys..the day i get caught i wont be mad at the system..i'll be mad at myself for not being careful enough..and thats that..anyone who thinks different let me know..

p.s. to enjoiphil: next time..interview really artist..real shit sounds better than a bad script

[deathcorebitch]

its complete art unless they are toys then they dont have logic.... all graffiti artists like myself want their art to be shown but are rejected when toys paint shit on walls to piss people off so it tells them that graffiti is only vandalism...

comment but no shit..

[homer091]

you think bombing is for toys???????

[rvdecwrvd]

u guys think hits up should be a crimE?.

[crystar4]

graffiti is art for sure

[GBXS]

I guess both, otherwise the police wont get om yo back..
