ANTICIPATION: Knowledge + Action

Post by SHT! »

I created this art previously but never released it as a print until now. For this new version, the message reads Knowledge + Action = Power. The text, ”The Future Is Unwritten” was inspired by a quote from Joe Strummer of The Clash. The flower growing from the barbed wire in my art piece is symbolic of the negative being overcome by the positive, a visual metaphor for hope in the unwritten future. - Shepard
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Knowledge + Action. 18 x 24 inches. Screenprint on cream Speckle Tone paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey. Edition of 550. $45. Available Thursday, November 8th @ 10AM (PDT) on ObeyGiant.com in Store under Prints. Max order: 1 per customer/household. International customers are responsible for import fees due upon delivery

Actually, I x V = Power, were I is amps and V is resistance. I like this print, but I'd like it better without that formula at the bottom. I think the book says enough.

In addition, I think that implying Power - Knowledge = Action sends the wrong message.

Looks like they have a bot checker running every single click through the store. It seemed to level the playing field. Thanks Obey!

Not sure it was hugely popular - may have allowed me to score for the 2nd time in 2018...

yeah but it was ridiculously annoying. I honestly think doing stuff like that makes it even harder for those not using bots. increasing the edition size, like they have, seems to be the best way to fight bots.

I'm wondering if any international people got messed up with our daylight savings ending and clocks changing last week.

Pic says 300 website says 550. I wonder which one is right?

I think they take the photo of the print prior to them being numbered and signed and then photoshop the sig and edition on

I'll gladly take a consolation prize when they realize what happened. Must have made an edit and gone to lunch.
