Kanye West Projects Himself All Over The World.

Being a man of few words on Twitter a few days ago he dropped a date (literally just a date) for his next album out in June. He then followed it with a projection debuting his single ‘New Slaves’ across America… videos went ‘#viral’,and now Kanye is going global with the flash stunt.

In the UK the projection will only be happening in Birmingham and Manchester – a big shame as I would have loved to go and see it in London. And it’s rumoured to be the new single ‘New Slaves’ and ‘Black Skinhead’

Here’s one of the videos projected in Chicago…

What’s amazing is that it’s such a simple thing to do, and requires little to no permission as you just turn up like they did for the stunt originally with a projector and speakers in a truck, and blast onto a public building for a few minutes like a flash stunt.

The worldwide projection seems a little more planned though, so maybe America was a tester to see if it would work.

Head to KanyeWest.com as it will be in Manchester on Saturday and hopefully more places added.

BANKSY’S BACK! People Annotateare taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it.They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you. You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity. FUCK THAT. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head. You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.Banksy
