Its art yes, personally I don't think its great art but it has a
certain amount of street cred so the chattering classes can pretend to
be down-wid-da-kids.. Having said that , vandalism is vandalism
however much talent the vandal may have otherwise you might as well
say murder isn't murder if the murderer killed the victim with a
certain amount of panache and creativity. Using that line of thought
probably half of the gestapo qualified as "artists".
