i come and think of a clip with darren brown, he puts the wallet on the ground and draws a red circle around it, then evereybody ignores it, feels the same..
[sarcasm] hard to believe they passed grammar school... [/sarcasm]
but yea... looked pretty kickass, the graffiti before that looked like shit. much IMO they really shouldn't have fined you, much better to have that and having them think of nice things.. rather than looking at all the jumbled up graffiti and thinking "wow this place looks like shit." or "this looks like a place i'd get robbed."
I wonder if originally this tag was about society and ignorance, because to me it seems as if it actually was about the art. The political message probably evolved as someone wondered if people would care or how people would react. I think you did a great job. As Sam (second below me) already said, law and art do not resolve in justice. Did it even come up in court that a white wall with arrows is not as asocial as a wall full of mediocre tags? Go, you 'villains'.
Wow . . . this is so amazing, so powerful. The fact that everybody ignored the exhibition shows how oblivious people are to the misery around them. The way I see it, using those arrows are a way of shouting out to them, practically shoving it in their face -- and still they refuse to see.
That is, WE refuse to see.
Thanks for this. May sound cliche, but this really opened my eyes.
To be fair since it said it was an exhibition I think most people ignored it because of that, not because of the misery it portrayed. Since it's pretty clear these people were part of it.
I still think it's a great exhibition, but I'm doubtful of people's interpretation of the passers-by.
I'm not gonna lie...this is probably the most meaningful thing I've seen in a while, not to mention you guys probably did more to clean up the wall than anyone else...even though you did paint arrows on it. Very cool idea!
I actually thought you were doing the government a favor replacing the existing graffiti with actual art. I feel that traditional graffiti is kind of dirty and would much rather have some kids clean up the place for me.

pretentious social commentary aside, you painted over two dozen bombs to paint fucking arrows on a wall to come across as deep and considerate people?
I've loved the photo on deviantART for a long time, and I've just come across this video. It's amazing how many people just ignore him. If it were a woman, I bet people would stop.
bit of a twat reli aint u ? goin over my peices n other peices with ur shitty nowere tags n mimic bunch of cunts reli wish they ad locked u up u prick
This is inspired, amazing how people are just walking by completely ignoring the human body lying on the floor,he could be dead or injured but no-ones' interested. a great social commentary on the un-caring times we live.
Art is vandalisim because property/money is at the root of all crime. To take that which is natural from the earth and change it is to own it, but to change that which is owned by others is criminal. To remove ownership is to add freedom.
that was awsome. i cane here from your deviant page. so stupid for the fuzz to nail you with 60h of comm service and a 1200 fine for it... i mean besides the arrows you cleaned up much more graffiti than you made! i bet the sentance was because of all the publicity it got
THIS IS VERY HARD ART!!!! I JUST CONGRATULATIONS YOU! I LIKE IT SO MUCH... if i did that in my country, probably i had beed die for a long time... this is not vandalism, prank camera o a fake...THIS IS REAL ART!!!
good luck for next time (i've read the "troubles" in devianART web page)
If I'd have seen someone lying under a tunnel with arrows pointing at him he clearly wouldn't be dead. I'd think it was either a hidden camera prank or a lame 'art' project.
What is so ridiculous about you getting fucked over by the police is that there were probably all sorts of terrible things written on the wall to begin with... not only did you white over the wall, but you also created a peice of art.... those bastards. Another thing that was funny was that no one really seemed to care about your friend lying there...
I saw and faved the pics of this on devart. It really is a very deep conceptual piece- the cops were dumb to consider it just vandalism. It's a work of art!
I, for one, think the subway looked a lot better after you were through with it, though I think you should've painted the other wall white, too, in order to draw the eyes more toward your piece.
Sorry to hear about the fine and community service. That totally sucks.
so.... what IS the point..
