Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by antigrav on Oct 31, 2013 5:04:12 GMT 1, Great shots Drachinfire, supreme quality.
Anyone else think this is a bit of an ego piece?
I don't mean that in a bad way. Ban Sky deserves some serious respect and gratitude for whats gone on the past month.
He's the cat. Relaxed and refined despite all the times hes been gone over and what not. Whatever.
A leopard can change his spots.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by antigrav on Oct 28, 2013 19:26:20 GMT 1, I like the robot piece. But the UPC code he's putting up doesn't make much sense to me.
Shouldn't it be some binary code? Some 0's and 1's?
OMAR in Binary: 01001111 01001101 01000001 01010010

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by antigrav on Oct 25, 2013 23:48:54 GMT 1, How could you not love a spectacle like this? The symbol for the most serious thing in life: Death, wheeling and whirling about under disco lights maniacally. And for free and nothing imparticular. Bravo. I say. Boom. There. Thank you. Awesome. BTW, is your avatar on purpose? It's giving me epileptic triggers... blinking like a mofo. Sorry about that. Avatar should be less-epileptic now.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by antigrav on Oct 25, 2013 20:47:34 GMT 1, A freestanding, rolled down and locked roll-up door installed out in the open in Central Park, NYC would be a great piece/statement by Banksy.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by antigrav on Oct 25, 2013 17:21:52 GMT 1, I know NYC is busy 24/7, but I'm guessing 5pm on a Friday evening has to be one of the busiest times of the week - i.e if you wanted maximum publicity... He's planning something big. I hope he throws thousands of fake dollar notes from the Empire State building. The piece is probably shaping up now or at least a few hours prior to 5pm EST... getting everything in place, doing it and then taking/editing pics and getting them up on the site will require a bit of lead time.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by antigrav on Oct 24, 2013 20:10:27 GMT 1, Who knows what'll happen to B's website once this is over. So... for no reason other than to preserve this 'residency', I set up a facebook page where I post pics of each piece, give updates on each piece as they are gone over.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by antigrav on Oct 24, 2013 17:31:42 GMT 1, I like it. A bit of a departure from his usual fare, rather classical. But 20 mins to put it up? Seems like it would have taken much longer.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by antigrav on Oct 23, 2013 16:44:34 GMT 1, Multiple ways to interpret today's lack of a piece.
1) It actually is the piece 2) It's a smokescreen tactic for Ban Sky to rally the global crowd who are following this spectacle. Denied their daily fix of cleverly placed silhouettes, they complain with fervor to the NYPD. 3) Robin Guggenheim just needs a day off. 4) They raided the secret warehouseand arrested everyone there despite their inability to actually identify Banksy. 5) He got caught in the process of today's piece. 6) ...add your own...

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by antigrav on Oct 23, 2013 8:21:38 GMT 1, I'm becoming more aware of how quickly the relevance of time passes during this residencey.
We hunger for a new piece to be revealed each morning and once it manifests itself, the interludes between each twinstabook picture/post reflect a millennium. When actually only minutes have passed.
Remember that snarky comment on font choices and New York accents? The box truck delivering a nightly diorama of calm? The tattered balloon holding steady on a Brooklyn wall? The enterprising young men who rose up to curate a depiction of an urban beaver? Concrete confessionals, stealthy-authentic originals, banzai treed Geisha spanners and Brazilian collaborations. Kids banging on Siamese connections and industrial Sphinxes. And that was all just within the past 2 weeks-es.
I, for one, love this experience.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by antigrav on Oct 19, 2013 1:23:09 GMT 1, The eyes arent painted in either on the Cop, IMO its the exact same image but the Os gemeos picture was taken maybe when they first completed the paintings, and they might have retouched or added some small nuances like the eyes and such. Its the exact same figures with only small additions that could have been done recently just before the hanging of the images, maybe just a once more go over details and such. i agree, that makes sense. Fwiw... I noticed that if you do a right-click > save on the two Banksy/OsG collab images on banksy.co.uk from today... they both have the word 'corrected' in their file names...

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by antigrav on Oct 18, 2013 6:31:20 GMT 1, this reminds me of Banksy's imagery - just it's real life. (c) Reuters
Those rides are so fun, but your bollocks are painful and swollen and your Euros turn into Rubles in your pockets... to rocket.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by antigrav on Oct 14, 2013 19:38:37 GMT 1, The 2nd woman buys the Guns Hill canvas - but the image used in the ebay auction is one of the many available on the internet. It's not a picture of the piece she bought. Which means she would have had to have known Banksy's name or the name of the piece to find it online.
Bogus.

Expect to pay at least $50 to get a picture of this one.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by antigrav on Oct 10, 2013 22:08:20 GMT 1, Yo... greetings from the West Coast US.
I've been enjoying this forum for a while, decided to change from lurker to poster.
Loving this 'residency' from the smallest pieces, to the video to the epic lot installation from yesterday.
I'm confused by and don't quite buy the "Farm Fresh" truck as a Banksy piece. It seems like more of a stunt that PETA would pull. I would write it off as just that, but it seems too well done and detailed for them.
Time will tell.
Loving the Beaver curators, btw. Adds a whole new layer to the piece.
