Using Beuys' definition, that is art ....... but does it make sense?

Banksy I do like - that piece in Bristol of the guy hanging out a window is eyecatching, witty and decorative, but I don't see much artistic talent being displayed in these tags. I don't see how using a stencil is a display of individuality and rebellion. Am I just getting old??:?

I'm with Marya on this one.

Rathbone - I love the idea of sonic graffiti! Did you ever experience the talking bus shelters on Princes Street a wee while ago? The bus shelters had audio systems rigged to them and would play music etc when people were standing inside them. People were genuinley freaked by it because they kinda wondered, 'I'm the only person here... Where is that msuci coming from? Can anyone else hear it - or is it just me...?!'

I think I may need to look into this a bit further...
