Someone had to be in the audience to trigger the shredder right?

I think everyone was in on it. Painting doubled in value after it shredded.

Rigged.

Yup, I mean, why wouldn't it be a crosscut shredder to turn it into confetti, and why did it only go halfway through?

Why not burn it?

I am not surprised, I mean, its Banksy...they did grab a guy trying to leave with a remote control, some think it might be banksy himself.

probably the best thing he has ever done

 

the only thing I think of though, is that he must have been in the crowd, so somebody actually could have been sitting right next to him

Saw a documentary that showed him selling unsigned prints at a street vendor stall for $50-$60.

 

Haggled with potential buyers and sold some for less.

 

Art collectors were were dumbfounded by what was clearly a slap in the face to the art community.

 

Of course the value of these prints exploded once it was found to be original Banksys. Several that bought these prints were surprised/amazed at their windfalls.
