Urban Art Graffiti - Banksy Tagging Robot

Robots and barcodes are prevalent subjects in Banksy’s works, and Tagging Robot features both. In the Coney Island mural, a whimsical-looking robot smiles and spray paints a barcode on the wall. The number included below the barcode is the DNA code for homo sapiens, a clever and intentional detail that the artist includes to sharpen the image’s commentary on consumer culture.
