Banksy • frAGILE • Legacy of War Foundation , by sandinista on Dec 17, 2022 13:57:08 GMT 1, I'm pretty sure that isn't a mouse, Banksy paints rats plus without wanting to go all David Attenborough on ya'll mice are tiny and have different ears and tails to rats. (I know this as I've inadvertently shared houses with both over the years). Also a mouse wouldn't be able to scratch through a box like that. Anyway, hope I get one.
Would you rather fight a horse size mouse or 100 mouse size horses?

I'd be very surprise they would do "VIPs" because I thought website stated that legacy of war foundation was choosing the "winners" and website also stated it was being chosen by computer???

I quite like the idea of a mouse sized horse or two for pets, I don't have room for a real one. I wouldn't fight either, I'm a pacifist. |

The second mouse, wouldn't quit.
He struggles so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out.

Banksy • frAGILE • Legacy of War Foundation , by met on Dec 17, 2022 20:08:43 GMT 1, Isn't it a fancy rat? I'm a bit late to this thread and I must admit I'm a little bit unsure as to what to make of it really. How can they call it a screen print though? Seem more like originals to me or are the others going to be screen prints of this original maybe?I see very little discussion around context and meaning though. There has to be more to it than the whole fragile to agile word play, surely.
Banksy refers to these being "screenprints" because that is the primary medium. They are multiples (part of an edition), screenprinted on cardboard.
That said, there may well be a hint of knowing understatement on the artist's part — which is an aspect I also find appealing.
If others (e.g. a gallery or auction house) were offering one of these prints for sale, my guess is that, for marketing reasons, they would be far more inclined to embellish their descriptions.
Perhaps "Hand-finished, [seven / eight]-colour screenprint on mixed media" might encourage some of the persuadables among potential buyers to dig even deeper into their pockets.
[Spot the linguistic reference to a highly-recommended documentary, The Great Hack (2019).]

Banksy • frAGILE • Legacy of War Foundation , by its all about me on Dec 18, 2022 13:04:28 GMT 1, I'm still confused by this. Is it part of an actual cardboard box that has the screenprint image printed on top of it? Or is it a piece of thick card that has been printed to look as if it is part of a cardboard box?

Good on them.

Not a million applications
No chance it was anywhere near that number but still slim chances
For perspective the life boat raffle which cost £2 to apply had 45,000 guesses and often people guessed more than once
Reality is that even if it’s a legitimate raffle and they give all 50 away the chances are likely to be 1000:1
Not worth worrying about

Banksy • frAGILE • Legacy of War Foundation , by met on Dec 18, 2022 18:42:08 GMT 1, what is the significance #'s on the side. if it was a used box from some cheap ikea furniture it surely would not have the date of 12/22 "603825161" 
As you've already indicated, the "12/22" is the date of creation of the piece.
Sadly, I am clueless about what the "603825161" means. Could be random, i.e. completely made up, just for the faux-packaging code. But it also wouldn't surprise me if this number (or a part thereof) were a nod by the artist to something more specific and elusive.
The reference to "a used box from some cheap ikea furniture" would be going off‑track, perhaps confusing intended appearances with reality.
Ceci n'est pas une pipe.

What is heartening is that you've asked yourself these questions. Meaning you're curious. Paying attention, going beyond superficial glances, and considering the artwork itself — including its possible creation process.
My ever-so-slight disappointment comes from a (possibly unjustified) suspicion that, in the above respect, you are among a minority.
The red — used for the text, numbering and packaging icons — is one of the seven or eight screenprinted colours.

My ever-so-slight disappointment comes from a (possibly unjustified) suspicion that, in the above respect, you are among a minority. The red — used for the text, numbering and packaging icons — is one of the seven or eight screenprinted colours. A game for art enthusiasts wishing to hone their observational and reasoning skills would be the following: Spot the multiple tells.
what is the significance #'s on the side. if it was a used box from some cheap ikea furniture it surely would not have the date of 12/22 "603825161" As you've already indicated, the "12/22" is the date of creation of the piece. Sadly, I am clueless about what the "603825161" means. Could be random, i.e. completely made up, just for the faux-packaging code. But it also wouldn't surprise me if this number (or a part thereof) were a nod by the artist to something more specific and elusive. The reference to "a used box from some cheap ikea furniture" would be going off‑track, perhaps confusing intended appearances with reality. Ceci n'est pas une pipe.I'm still confused by this. Is it part of an actual cardboard box that has the screenprint image printed on top of it? Or is it a piece of thick card that has been printed to look as if it is part of a cardboard box? What is heartening is that you've asked yourself these questions. Meaning you're curious. Paying attention, going beyond superficial glances, and considering the artwork itself — including its possible creation process.

Some things I looked at was the area of Ukraine in sq kms that is close the the first 6 digits, but does not match. I also checked world population so see if any figures match. |

*Sounds cool but that’s not how smart contracts work.
fixed it for you.

Okay, just some observations. Had a bit of fun here, so not to be taken entirely seriously.
So, couldn’t help but reminded of Massive Attack Blue lines and Protection packaging.
1 this and the symbols at the bottom reminded me of massive attack and the symbols 3d used . Red Lines.
2 the rat’s whiskers and ear neatly spell out 3d
3 could help but look at it upside down. Upside down E L look like a stylised 3d
4 back paw and it’s shadow spell out 3d. Front paw has 4 fingers but almost seems to be highlighting 3 of them
5 tried and tried but cannot figure out anything in the serial number. Wouldn’t be surprised if correlates to some sort of aid supply.
6 as highlighted, date executed
7 more symbols reminding me of massive attack. The recycle symbol having 3 arrows ♻️
8 cant help but think you can make out ‘HIRST’ lol

I searched the number in reverse, it’s a Ukrainian illustration.
