Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by Chrisp on Oct 3, 2013 22:06:27 GMT 1, Any potential sightings for October 4th or beyond? No but that's probably a good thing. They have been found by 11-12pm. I'm going to try and hit the City by 11ish.
Any potential sightings for October 4th or beyond? No but that's probably a good thing. They have been found by 11-12pm. I'm going to try and hit the City by 11ish. I reckon if you got a map of the City and then marked the 4 pieces up of where they were done, then drew a cross through these four in some sort of order you will find the next one at the middle of the cross. Just call me Columbo. |

Edit: though, as said earlier it may be around soho, so I will head over there and get a coffee or a bite. However, banksy thought Chelsea was Midtown, so I guess it could be anywhere.

Based on this idea: #2 and #3 are pretty parallel. If it was a box, #1 (Chinatown) would be to the lower right. So I'm thinking parallel to #1 but to the left (Soho/Tribeca).
Also, he previously did one on Bleeker near Bowery, and with Comic Con next week--I'm sure he'd be doing one in Clinton.
If you see anything--post here first  Goodluck!

Not sure this is what Banksy has in mind but I've started a map for the group's perusal, so you can decide if there's anything developing as time goes on:

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by Dr Plip on Oct 3, 2013 23:46:23 GMT 1, Interesting theory.
I'm not the world's greatest cartographer, but I can definitely see a pattern forming here.
If my suspicions are correct, then as well as Manhattan, I would expect some Banksy activity around the bottom of Throgg's Neck, near to Flushing, and to expect him to finish by coming into Brooklyn.

i have seen you post that a bunch of times how would you possibly know that is the case? i am sure he has many a lookouts but unless you are in a very very close circle of people i don't see how you could know the exact details of his operation.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by yoyosh on Oct 4, 2013 0:54:44 GMT 1, What I'm interested in is this. It's 2013 in New York City. I'm sure many forum members have visited NYC. There are cameras EVERYWHERE. EVERYONE has a smart phone that takes pix and video. Knowing he is out there (with a crew/group of helpers), can he really do this without being caught? Walk thru manhattan sometime and look for all the cameras...they're unavoidable. Not saying he will be "unmasked", but someone will catch him in the act.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by Dr Plip on Oct 4, 2013 1:02:15 GMT 1, Banksy doesn't even need to be in NY. He could have a team of 5? with 50 pre-cut stencils, and recorded voiceovers for all of them. As the days progress, they could pick and choose which ones to put up and where. Banksy could just be Skyping them instructions from his compound in Bristol.
No worry about him being arrested. And if one of his crew gets picked up, who's connecting it to Banksy? Their image would just go down as a pale imitation or copycat, until the image is placed on the website, then it becomes a Banksy.
Or something like that.
Maybe it's just him, running around NY, with nothing but a hoodie and a spraycan.
Do you think there'll be a "making of" book or dvd released after this? I mean, someone must be documenting this all behind the scenes.

I don't "know" that per se. But I've been around the game long enough to know safe functional ways of keeping things clean, quick and quiet. And Mr. B had too much riding in this to have a big posse running around with him or to be flying solo. It just doesn't work. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a mini van with a slide door close by either. But I don't know that 100%. Lets call it intuition.
I know he's doing it each day because of the fact that the 'you complete me' piece was put up, found, photo'd then the phone number was added 2 hours later. My office is also 2 blocks from the piece so I scoped it after both instances.

I've listen to each repeatedly and laughed out loud each time. Conceptual, humorous, brilliant execution. This kind of self aware, tongue-in-cheek faux seriousness is perfect; no one does it like Banksy does it.
