"Ainsi à New York, c'était à cette époque un moyen pour des jeunes cantonnés dans leurs quartiers de se montrer, de parler d'eux. Ils se sont mis à tagger des trains, cela leur permettait de se connecter avec d'autres endroits, de dire on est là, on existe."
"At New York, and at this epoch, this was a means for the young people of the boroughs to show themselves, to express themselves. They tagged trains, which permitted them to connect to other places, to say, 'we are here, we exist.'"
--Continuing Interview of Dragonfly
"Shepard Fairey (street artist) lutte ... contre l'oppression des médias, la société de consommation ... Il a aussi réalisé sans autorisation une affiche de soutien à Barack Obama ... pour la présidence américaine de 2008."
