Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
I understand why this cannot well be a 2d graffiti, but I'm not sure how I feel about Banksy making sculptures. It's less subversive, somehow.
Still, I like it:
But I like this one more (and kudos to the photographer):
I bet Myce is stoked they made it into the picture!
That his name was released kinda ruined the whole previous Banksy motif anyways
his name
You mean "Banksy"?
I also have a hard time imagining that he (or someone helping him) did this without co-operating with officials. Maybe that's why it feels less subversive.
OTOH the article made it sound like (maybe nowadays, I don't really follow him) he routinely reveals authorship shortly after creating something. Probably the best measure against people trying to "steal" it from him.
Hmm, I'm kinda assuming Banksy is male... let it be said that I don't know and just chose to follow my imagination. And ignore all "potential" identities.
I dont know, I like that it’s somewhat understated. It really hits hard IMHO. Goddamned good piece of art. Simple but says so much, and is applicable all over the world.
And timely.
I could see him making a very effective 2D graffiti with that image
Yeah, I thought the same since the photo is 2D as well. I should've said "works better in 3D" or so.
He was spotted at the cafe nearby, so we knew this
This article is 22 days old now. Not exactly "news".
