To Be Seen - Alice Arnold

Alice Arnold’s documentary “To Be Seen” is a study of visual culture, urban culture and an exploration of an age-old urban cultural phenomenon, street art. Sound s very pretentious that to me but suppose they have to big it up and sound all arty farty. I did take a look at the site and found that it does look quite interesting. The film takes a critical look at our consumer society by looking at the practice of street art in New York City. Alice Arnold looks at who is making street art and why and investigates the public's perception of this work. Is it Art or Vandalism?
“To Be Seen” features Interviews with Swoon, Michael DeFeo, Dan Witz, Skewville, Faile, Marc Schiller from The Wooster Collective and you can see clips from the documentary at the link below.
