This is a major company exploiting the one type of art that the urban community claims as its own. It feels no better than a painting of a PSP commissioned by Sony hanging in an art gallery. |
I don't think it's right, they shouldn't be using graffiti as a means to get people to buy the PSP's, because of all it has stood for in the past...also it's dishonest to not have the Sony logo or anything in them, like genuine street artists are endorsing the PSP...I have to admit though that it's a very clever campaign.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
