"got to get in, get my picture.

How do I... aah!"

So, this is on St. Mark's place.

Meet me at the station

meet me 'bout half past 9:00

Banksy is at it again.

All right, banksy strikes again.

He tagged a truck

that cruised around the village.

Folks, brace yourself

'cause... the British are coming?

The British are coming.

Allahu akbar!

Allahu akbar!

Allahu akbar!

Allahu akbar!

So, today's banksky is a video.

Today's banksky is a video.

Allahu akbar!

Allahu akbar!

Allahu akbar!

Allahu akbar!

Banksy really understands the necessity

to make narratives simple

for the mainstream media.

The video piece

that obviously had a reference

to "dumbo"...

The story of dumbo also was connected...

It came out around

the time of world war ii.

"Dumbo" was the code name

used for the u. S. Navy

during the '40s and '50s

to signify search-and-rescue mission.

The purpose of dumbo missions

was to rescue downed American aviators,

as well as seamen in distress.

Allahu akbar!

That video with dumbo

getting shot, right?

And if you look at that audio...

Allahu akbar!

Allahu akbar!

Allahu akbar!

...that was actual audio

of militants taking a rocket launcher

and shooting down a real helicopter.

So, while we're all saying like, "oh,

childhood innocence is kind of, like,

cute but sad and whatever, video,"

that was the sound

of somebody actually dying.

Allahu akbar!

The helium balloon,

an object of such poetry,

its lightness, its fragility,

its way of wandering on a breeze.

It's an uplifting visual poem

to that most fragile of human emotions.

Oh, brother.

Such a juxtaposition, then,

is a common theme for this artist.

Or, to put it another way,

he just keeps repeating himself.

So, this piece, I think,

was put up there to be

an interactive piece, you know,

because it's, "there's always hope,"

the stencil, the girl with the balloon.

As soon as I saw it,

I was like, "all right,

I hope a little girl shows up

so I can get a shot."

You know, everybody wants to get

a shot that nobody else has.

And I was trying

to do it as quickly as possible

so everybody else who was there

wouldn't get the same shot.

I really loved how much

the audience participation

was a part of this show.

The bandaged heart balloon piece...

You had to stand in front of that piece.

Yes, you had to take a picture, sure.

So, Instagram, yay.

But you had to stand there

to activate the piece.

This piece is obviously

an iconic representation

of the battle to survive a broken heart.

I knew you were gonna do that sh*t, man.

Just in time.

Yeah, it's called spot-jocking.

You put your name or piece

next to somebody else's

who's, like, more famous than you
