Will you still claim that it's not art? Watch this video and try to persuade me that I'm mistaken. I guess it won't be easy to do))

... I mean...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this video takes place in a studio, not on the side of a bridge or a road sign...

I hardly want to take this extreme, but I think it is vandalism. In the vast majority of buildings, it's not wanted and doesn't look good. However, it does have a time and a place, and it should be tolerated where appropriate, where it looks good, and is in keeping with the general aesthetic.

There's a difference between an amazing graffiti work at a skate park, and on some big office. That's the difference between art & vandalism.

If done with the taste and style like the one to the left, then yes, I think it is art. But a big cock sprayed on an office building is not in anyway art.

I always meet with this "kind of art" on the streets. In some times i agree that it is cool, i mean really cool. Nevertheless in most cases it's trash and of course act of vandalism. I think that, some people can not find way of self-expression, and from here are terrible consequences. People don't mind how much money government spend to correct their deeds. I advise them to not change themselves but find another way to express themselves. May be they will recognize and do smth that can make happy people...
