New Banksy Print

[Lukin56]

I think the difference in the color in the canvas in the frame and in what is shredded is due to a spotlight being pointed at that spot on the wall. You can see the light when they pull the frame down. Also, the canvas in the frame stops at the same time as the shredded parts. There is a slight delay in seeing shreds come out the bottom because i'm guessing is getting woven three the slicing mechanism before coming out the bottom. I see no reason for a person of Banksy's means and creativity to fake this with a 2nd pre-shredded copy hidden in the frame.

Correct

Myth Busting Banksy
"The recent incident around Banksy embedding a shredder into the frame of his Girl With A Balloon has caught the world’s attention.
As a nerd obsessed with the intersection of art and tech, I too was sucked in over the weekend in trying to unravel the mysteries behind Banksy’s self-shredding painting. I believe I bring a unique perspective to the mystery. I spent five years of my life working alongside expert scientists and engineers investigating mechanical device failures and patent-infringement cases. My job was to create demonstrative evidence in the form of hundreds of courtroom exhibits. Additionally, I come from a family with varied engineering and science backgrounds: my younger brother Matt (a computer scientist), my older brother Brian (an embedded systems engineer), and my father (who designed battery-operated implantable medical devices for several decades). I reached out to them for some assistance."

This is great but at the end of the day, the general public will just always see it as a prank Banksy did on Sothebys and that's all that matters in the end. My grandma even mentioned it to me.

ouch

[gorkie]

It's truly amazing that people can actually be this stupid.

[stuckeyc]

Is it though

[gorkie]

I just refuse to believe that somebody could be so stupid as to think doing this to a raw Banksy print would increase it's value. I mean there is no way, right?

Maybe they did it with a West Country Prince one?

[Codeblue]

Duh. Obvs babbs publicity stunt.
