Graffiti 2.0

Total aerosol Banksy gathered together some of street arts finest for a 3 day exhibition over the weekend entitled the Cans Festival (geddit?).

The general arty hipness was countered by parents like me and others requesting their children pose in front of Banksy’s witty daubings. Whilst I had some beef with the staff who asked that I remove my daughter from a tree house covered in tags and barbed wire and surrounded by sand, it was as the unwashed Japanese gentlemen who stood beside me in the queue said ‘controlled anarchy’ and I’m all for that along with ‘waterless baths’.

Whilst real paint on real walls distracted, cyber graffers calling themselves Smif & Dicky set to work on former Banksy pal Dface’s website, hacking into it and replacing it with the following.

Beware all who accept money from pneumatic pop sirens, pixelated graffiti is on the rise.

Is this Graffiti 2.0?
