Snide, hip piece on a new phase of graffiti artists whose work, while much more clever than what we had to look at in the 70's, is still an imposition on all those who don't want buildings and public spaces marked up by self-centered individuals.
I thought the work on display was very imaginative and provocative when shown at a designated gallery of warehouse space but we're confronted with this stuff every day around here and, to me, it just degrades our common environment.
This film took an imaginary character and got stuck in this construction past the point when it was clever...which is sort of a perfect metaphor for the phenomenon itself. One image from an old video game might be provocative but these bozos plaster them all over town, thus becoming an ugly blot on the commons.
