    I think that painting was a well planned design.. saw something similar last week in a town near us.. I need to go back and take pics of that. Perfect for the theme!!

    The one on the left looks intriguing. I get the feling that they are some form of social art rather than vandalism

    I think it is both. Does that make sense? It is art but if whomever did it does not own the buildings or fences then they are vandalizing someones property. I have had it done to my 6 foot privacy fence. Not a fun thing to happen.

    I would say it art. Even walls around my small down is painted.

    Coffee is on.

    thanks for visiting, everyone. if i remember this trip correctly, i believe it was an organized information/ community mobilization campaign for health in Indonesia. so i believe these walls were painted with permission from their owners. but in the event that clandestine artists took to the walls to express their art, truly beautiful works but sans owner approval, can the works still be art? or vandalism already? or what if the designs were done with permission but they turned out to be hideous visual assaults- is the term art still applicable?
