A couple years back, famed anonymous street artist Banksy wrote a piece for his 2004 book, Cut It Out. It touches on the collosal impact that corporate advertising has on our daily lives, and justifies the act of the remix. It’s perhaps not without irony then, that much of the text was appropriated from an essay in a a zine by artist Sean Tejaratchi. Check out the full text, along with some sweet illustrations courtesy of Gavin Aung below.
Thanks for sharing the original source for this. I love what Banksy has to say – nice to know what helped inspire him to say it.
Thanks! Yeah, I count myself as a fan of Banksy’s, although it’s a bit weird how he still hasn’t addressed where he got most of his source work material for Pissed.
