Banksy piece in central London, that represents the lack of fear that the artist has of the CCTV and how wrong and pointless the CCTV actually is. The direct violation that the CCTV has on the right privacy and how it needs to be directly attacked, as well as discredited.
This piece clearly appeals to our pathos mainly from a comedy factor. This piece is full of humor and mockery which will hopefully offer an outlet for a bit of laughter at the irony. Other than tickling the funny bone, this image should also cause a bit of anger to rise; for this points out how we are constantly being watched and tracked without our consent. The humor and wittiness of this stencil also appeals greatly to the logos factor, for this has a social/political statement about the way things are being ran and dealt with; stating in a clever way something that needs to be addressed. On the factor of Ethos, this image is completely full of integrity, for there is nothing that is hidden. In fact, it is actually making something that is supposed to be hidden and deceiving blatantly obvious. In regards to Myths, this directly effects the community by commenting on the society and making people of the community more aware of this issue that effects them all; while adding a bit of sarcastic patriotism in the mix.
