now, we all know what cell division is. first of all its one of the major conditions of organic life. our skin renews itself constantly within a certain time period: the famous 4 stages of cell devision! remember? i had to learn about it in school. anyway, lets put these two thoughts together: hundertwasser's third skin theroy and cell devision. the wall would be then the skin. and the graffiti we see is the constant change of it.
Banksy heerin would be only a provider, a condition that guarantees the renewment of the skin, the wall. so he and all the other graffity artists cant help themselves they are the mitosis or a motor of the different stages of renewing the skin. the wall would be a system demanding by "natural" laws for renewment/reproduction. maybe we could even look at them (the sprayers) as cell cores who are parts of the fabric which produces an organic system made visble with spraycans, paint or other tools, whatsoever.
i can go even further now, being cell cores they would act from the inside of the system and hundertwasser would be wrong because we dont only inhabit theses skins, but we can also choose our "point of view" (inside/ouside). and graffity being very messy sometimes, looks like real organic parts that are inside of our body: ugly! thats also why grafitty in its own nature is so unsexy, comes "clean" or never obscene enough! like cell devision its a asexual reproducing system. we see the street as a blood line (f.e.gang wars, car accidents) the wall as blood vessel and the sprayers as chromosomes/genes...??
