  • so.... what IS the point..

  • Da directed. Shame that you got fined, should have been congratulated, because this is mroe pleasnt to looks at.

  • love it

  • brilliant, got the link from dA! I love this, it's a shame the police and the passersby didn't see the art in it.

  • Scary just how many people walked by without checking on the guy.

  • ===>DA directed! Awesome guys. Make your mark

  • Ace! Makes me hate everyone a little bit more though...

  • lol noone even stops.

  • That's just awesome man! Haha, saw this on DA first, and this is just epic.

  • i wud have tooken a picture haha!

  • 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."

  • Wow. I would have stayed and just looked for ages. Instead of walking by, acting like I had better things to do.

  • I still would've stopped because that guy looked kind of dead....

  • 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.

  • speaking it loud and true.

    i know i have done the same thing, turning a blind eye to misery, saying that it isn't there.

    but when it stares you straight in the face you can't look away.

  • alot better than the shit graffiti on the walls before the art.

    Good concept

    Art+Law= Mess

  • The very fact that there were arrows pointing to him made the situation feel fake.....

    I want to see their reaction if there were no arrows

  • just amazing!!!

  • whats the song in the beginning ?

  • The song is "Plastic World" by Pendulum from the Album Hold you color. Its awesome and worth to check it out :D

  • thanks for pointing it out much appreciated

  • Excellent work - clean and powerful. Keep it up

  • wow barely anyone actually stopped...:(

  • fuck the police

  • There were only, like... what, three or four people to actually stop and take a good look at him? Wow.

    Very powerful; I like.

  • haha that rocked

    stay up man

  • fucking fantastic, well done lads, very brave and if you guys had to suffer a bit for it, it was worth it, I hope you realise that.

  • =( Sad.

  • 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!

  • This is good art, to bad you got in trouble for it.

  • 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.

  • I dont see the harm in it tbh.

  • Nobody really cared

    mint read about it on

    deviant art

    wats the point you cleaned up the awful stuff and replaced it with nice stuff

  • pretty cool man, nice and kinda original

    keep it going

  • wats the name of the songs? very good video!

  • does some one kick him in the last 10 or so seconds? or throw him money?

  • i saw yur pic on DA...that story that went with it is amazing. if i had money to help you pay off your fines i would help you out...great idea!

  • Haha nice piece man! :)

  • graffity means recycling old over new

  • very interesting piece! I'm surprised so many people walked by with so little as a glance, or not even that. very good work!

  • oh and pendulum rocks btw

  • great artistic work

  • 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.

    I wish I'd been able to see this in real life.

  • hahahha!!

  • Hold up, I thought I saw someone drop that guy money or something at 2:51?

  • now THAT is art. where is that?

  • casper, please dont get this confused..it has nothing to do with team nowhere, or mimic..

  • haha what you apologising to paignton toys for??

  • learn to spell

  • 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.

  • Decoration.. not vandalism ;)

  • fubzy481 is flamebait and you to are idiots.  This is still vandalism no matter how you look at it.

    But I still loved the idea.

  • pretty cool

    props.

  • I never got to see it and now I've been informed it's gone :(

    Bet it's going to end up covered it "tosspot was ere" as well :/

    Oh well at least theres still the arrows on the floor :D

  • ive been there. live in brixham brrap

  • Great street art.

    And a shame, how man reacts.

    Including authorities.

    Don't stop it.

  • mad props for this !

    Really great job !

  • doing some good? theres a difference between tagging and art. this is art.

  • stfu man, this is art, if you can't respect that then you don't deserve to make comments on videos on here

  • thats @ fubzy481 btw

  • Wow..

    I like this.

    What I didn't like was how the authorities overreacted to it.

    Idiots.

  • 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

  • Nice work. Its good to see some proper art around the bay instead of the usual rambling of retards.

  • thats was gr8! and u put pendulum songs in too!

  • Where the hell is matt? There he is!!!

  • good one.

  • Brilliant.  You need to write a book about the experience.

  • 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)

    best wishes for everyone...!

  • 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.

  • Sorry, what WAS the point?

  • my money is tha the point was that there was a "dead" guy on the road with arrows all over point to him and no one stopped to help.

  • Great action!

  • Really great idea & project,.. this is just impressive!

  • that's hilarious. huge commitment by the guy that was lying there. or yknow, i guess he just slept through all of it

  • ¿? xD

  • 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...

  • Can't believe they fucked you for basically fixing up their wall.

  • Great!

  • ya sick idea ..love it

    couldnt help but notice nobody asked u nothin..faor all dey knew dat coulda been a dead body :D

  • Duuuude. Faved your pics on dA. Sorry to hear about the trouble you had to go through afterwards. Masterpiece to the power of infinite.

  • 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.

  • Ha that was good, I was scared it was going to be some pretentious crap but it wasn't, people were to scared to notice him.

  • Bit of an old school sesh mate

  • this is realy good thanks and well done lol

  • Look at all the plebs just walk past the body that is lying under all the arrows. Brilliant! I wish more people would do this kind of thing.

    Nice choice of tunes too ;)

  • haha really nice idea! I love it ! keep it up! peace
