Today’s Banksy update doesn’t involve a stencil or a roving installation, it’s a piece of video art. “I’m not posting any pictures today. Not after this shocking footage has emerged…,” reads the post on his BanksyNY website along with a YouTube clip.

“A New York delivery truck converted into a mobile garden (includes rainbow, waterfall and butterflies),” reads the description on Banksy’s site for “All City,” the most recent addition to the street artist’s Better Out Than In series. “The truck will visit a different location every evening from dusk.” Housing the installation inside a truck and […]

Here, his work suffers a quick death by way of tagging, modification and ultimately, an all out buffing. Below is what’s left […]
Less than 24 hours later after it first appeared, the new Banksy that just went up on Allen Street in Chinatown has already been slightly tagged, pilfered, then fixed and tastefully altered with some stinging commentary.
