then you would end up

just like every other,

"coulda been a contender"

For the first time, we saw work

in a really seamless fashion,

where he would put out

this cryptic message on his website...

...which made like a treasure hunt

where you needed to go

and find something

in the part of the city

you'd never been in before.

We would post something, and then...

- Hashtag it.

- ...Hashtag it.

The banksy phenomenon, like,

trained us on to, like, how

to find things via social media.

Every day this month, it seems,

a fresh work will be unveiled,

but nobody knows where

and nobody knows when.

But I'd rather...

So, banksy would post something,

and within a very,

very small window of time,

people would just be tweeting

about it, using Instagram.

You'd just get a barrage

of people taking pictures.

The people who followed him...

It was their job,

it was their quest to find him.

The response to it

would be part of the art itself.

It's never been done like that before.

It was like a giant scavenger

hunt in New York City,

and we were all pawns.

We all played along beautifully.

For now, the city is getting

a new tourist attraction every day

and also a lot more graffiti.

You know what it was?

It was the integration

of the street and social media.

What was happening on the

streets was happening so fast,

there were camera crews

interviewing people immediately.

So, immediately I knew

that this was going to be

an important event

for 31 days in the city of New York,

prompted by banksy.

The "o" would be right here.

So, right where they

painted it, look at that.

- This is where it was.

- Amazing.

And then the "y" was right here.

Hello.

You're standing somewhere

in New York City

and looking at a delivery truck

that is delivering calm.

Please rest awhile and enjoy the view.

We just found out

that it could be on St. Mark's and...

Second or third.

- ...second or third.

- Yeah.

We're headed there now.

I'm shaking!

Julia.

Yeah?

Found it!

Can you imagine...

The coolest part is,

is that this guy

is hanging out here somewhere.

Or one of his associates

is hanging out...

They're watching the truck, yeah.

They're watching that truck, right?

It's basically a giant diorama.

And I could kind of care less

'cause I can to go

the natural history museum

and see a silly diorama.

But you listen to the audio guide,

and he's like, "this truck

is delivering calm

all throughout New York City."

Well, he was delivering chaos.

It never once delivered calm.

It was driving a banksy around the city

and hordes of people following it.

No one was there and thinking,

"oh, I'm so relaxed."

Everyone was there, saying,
