Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by fattyramone on Oct 15, 2013 20:48:19 GMT 1, Ok, so how can SunNetwork block the embed function? It's embedded using, in part, JavaScript or Java. Sun, and by extension, SunNetwork, owns Java. Hence, an error in the embed scripting threw the error you see on the site.
Your probably right , but if you watch the video , it isnt just a still static message , the message is being "broadcast" per say ...you can see all the "white noise" under the message.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by fattyramone on Oct 15, 2013 20:45:10 GMT 1, OK , apologies for my wrong assumption that it was the Sun Newspaper behind it..
After a quick google search it looks like Its owed by some Asian based business ,, their portfolio seems to include some music publishing companies ..maybe it was a music based copy write issue?

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by fattyramone on Oct 15, 2013 20:10:41 GMT 1, Anybody else getting this on the "Sirens of the Lamb" video on the Banksy site?
When you click on it to rewatch it it says that the video has been removed due to (I assume) The Sun Newspaper claiming copywrite??
Eh?

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by fattyramone on Oct 14, 2013 8:44:01 GMT 1, What I find interesting is the fact that so few seemed to sell. And we all say 'buy what you like', right? Well... it appears out of the tens of thousands passing that stall, not many liked what they saw. Which holds an interesting mirror up to all of us. Are we buying Banksy because we like the images/sentiment/message or are we buying because it's a status symbol? Stripped of their status, they're just $60 canvasses that people pass by.
The thing being at $60 these were quite expensive "knock offs" , hardly a impulse purchase price range for a lot of people.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by fattyramone on Oct 13, 2013 23:15:47 GMT 1, Over on the EB board they started a little competition along the lines of "Guess what Banksy will do next" This was my prediction 2 days ago..... .pretty accurate in concept even if I say so myself. Maybe a little out in the price he charged and its methodology but pretty much smack on the money in its concept. Look halfway down the page for my original posting forum.Expressobeans/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=123911&start=15i dunno what its like over there in America-land but over here it seems every other cheap shop has its fair share of ยฃ15 a time cheap classic image knock-off Banksy images printed onto stretched made-in-Taiwan canvas that are strewn about the place willy-nilly.
I would love him to do another reverse shoplift instillation (a-la Paris Hilton CD) whereby he places a few genuine "Banksy original" canvas's into a few of these shops amongst the other dross knock-off's to be sold unsuspectedly to shop punters for ยฃ15......The pandemonium once the word got out would be great to witness .what do you think he should do with the remaining canvases? if hes reading this board , which his vanity wouldnt let him not , then he should send me one as payment for giving him the idea in the first place ;-)

Obey - info on forthcoming work, by fattyramone on Oct 4, 2013 12:07:51 GMT 1, Personally I cannot see any hand collaging of any kind on any of the examples shown. All I see are a few patches of pattern and the top layer white screen done by Shep or one of his posse. I'm guessing the rainbow fade is Risk, the sprayed dot pattern, circles, lines and paint splats. So I'll stick by what I said until otherwise proven wrong by someone who can a. prove me wrong in pictures or b. knows what they're talking about and is not just quoting the sales bumf.
Apologies , if these pics don't show , but they are all unique collages.
