Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by Robert Stevens on Oct 5, 2013 21:47:00 GMT 1, Thanks. Sorry. New here. What is MBW? That's a great picture. MBW could probably release that as a print.

Edit: And then a 5 year-old girl arrives on her tricycle and tags one of the trees.

maybe I'm just a bit blankered by the whole thing but it seems to me that B is using the media outlets more than previous projects and it is actually part of the whole thing . Whereas I am sure there was the same outlet s active when Bristol show or exit was released but he chose not to use them as part of the experience ,? ?maybe I'm wrong. If can't yemember how I got ny ticket for the tunnels now or Bristol but sure there was no real interaction via Twitter etc. On here tree was always discussions photos etc, usually posted first by fragile, but none of this now it's all via media. That's the difference I see

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by Warm Gun on Oct 5, 2013 22:05:54 GMT 1, The tour guide voice guy calls bambi "him" repeatedly. Total diss. Blimey, you Yanks really don't get irony do you?
It's not a dis in the slightest, it's intentional, it's part of the humour of it all, the tour guide has mispronounced his name on every guide so far. Have a listen.

I get the irony. The real irony, IMO, is Banksy "dissing" Bambi for being unimaginitive just before he rolls out today's piece which is completely different from anything he's done in NYC this week.

Speaking of Bambi, strange, no word as yet from the T-800 of the PR world. Lenny's probably trying to figure out how best to spin this to MAXIMUM!! advantage.
Edit: No dis intended Lenny/Bambi.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by Deleted on Oct 5, 2013 23:08:08 GMT 1, There's never been any public interaction on his website Wizzle Kicks me old fruit. Same now as it was then and always will be. As I said, 'Hipstagram is merely being used as a tool for the public to spread the word further, which is exactly what everyone else uses it for so there's nothing new there'. The public interaction that's going on now is exactly that - public interaction - there is no interaction between Banksy and the public bar the publishing of a photograph, just as he does with his website. Aha got it now RM

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by johnnyh on Oct 6, 2013 1:17:17 GMT 1, Sorry but its nothing like that because when Banksy first started he only had his website, there was no instagram, twitter etc. That's my whole point. This is the first time social media has been used to control and run an exhibition. What's the difference between banksy.co.uk and instagram.com or twitter.com? They're both websites. It's no different to how it used to be. It is slightly different though in the fact that yes he announced on his website before but now social media is watching this play out in real time globally. It's still paint on walls as it were but it's how the pieces are developing live more so than his interaction he is just pulling the strings. It is people's interaction with the pieces and each other that is being carried out through the media globally. Eg the pieces are pure for hours then they change and people interact with the change. It's not new in one sense but this is different due to the almost real usage of social media and how people react to each other and the pieces in real time time. Eg you can experience this without being there even though not the same as being there. This is only day 5/6 now there is a moving truck being tracked.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by Jimmy Oscar on Oct 6, 2013 1:25:34 GMT 1, Here is the tacky shit now surrounding day two.
Even some mad old bloke selling his crap, as well as a letter explaining some wonderful kids book.
No one else about at 3.30pm Saturday when I swung by - was going to rip the door off and hang it on my wall but then I didn't want all the other shit in the apartment so decided to leave it.

The real shame in all this is that it is all covered with mindless crap. I kinda hoped it would bring out the best of what is current in street art and we might see some really cool pieces in response to him putting stuff up everywhere.
A global social media event, an opportunity to show the world what you can do or are about....and we get this
Oh well, roll -on tomorrow

As an aside I really thought the vid of their other work was pretty poor too... If you are looking for aesthetic value, or even aesthetic graffiti BTM is not a crew that concerns themselves with making anything look pretty. Besides the traditional handstyles and throwups what bombers care about is as much damage as possible in the best locations as much as possible. The video posted was very old but still inline with what you would expect from this crew. Tags tags throwups and more tags. The respect comes from knowing what it takes to do this much work in the streets over time. From a bystander with not much knowledge about graffiti I can see where tags look like scribbles but believe me these guys are the top of the foodchain when it comes to writers and streets. There is a tremendous amount of respect given, example below look at Os Gemeos nod to a lost member of the BTM crew just last week Jade Throwup on the Hat of their character Jade RIP.

That pic above is exactly whats wrong with the hype. Its hard to look at such horrible additions being added. I appreciate the real tag or even a throwup over one of his pieces as it would feel more real, it would seem more authentic. This feels like reality graffiti gone bad.
