#3- MY CHOICE

So, another addition to the conversation about "What is art?". The classic question of graffiti. In my opinion, graffiti is the perfect proof of the fact that art is all about perception. It seems interesting that you have people concerned about property values (and also state officials concerned with what graffiti may say about their neighborhoods), and yet, in these same communities, there are those that feel as though graffiti saves them from harsher alternatives. There are those who feel as though, graffiti is the perfect representation of the place they live in and is a beautiful addition. Here's a video from the perspective of the "artist"... Vandalism? Or art?
