"Nobody ever listened to me until they didn't know who I was".
-BANKSY




So the love story must come to an end! I have spent the last 5 months writing my semester project along with some very good uni friends on Banksy and tomorrow is the verdict! I have been preparing for my oral examination for the past 100+hours now and i keep changing my presentation!
The project is a performance design and cultural encounters approach to street art with focus on Banksy. It includes theory on visual perception, semotics, communication and art history..but I think I'm finally going to talk about the similarities between advertising and street art. I find it interesting that a subculture such as graffiti has inevidably become a part of strategic marketing and people like Banksy who oppose it, at the same time play along.
DOES THIS SOUND INTERSTING? feck.my nerves are nervous.

And as soon as I'm done with my exam i gotta run to the freakíng train, step off and step right on stage for a fundraising event i'm playing at. more about that later. Wish me luck!
