Interview: The Wa

August 19th, 2008

Schönes Interview von Brad Downey für das Chief Mag mit The Wa: “Some people call my work “urban hacking.” It’s also been called “artivism.” But maybe its just a colorful way to make people think, and for me to react. To be honest with you, I don’t really know! I just always have this sentence pop up in my head from Pierre Bourdieu: “La Démocratie c’est un pouvoir et un contre pouvoir qui s’Équilibrent entre eux.” (“Democracy is the balance between people who have power and those who fight against them.”)  I do not pretend that we are living in a democracy (most of my work is illegal) and I realize that some people might think what I do is wrong. Most people don’t understand why I do what I do. I use the city as a stage where I express my ideas whether they are “right” or “wrong.” Vgl. auch hier, hier. Via
