I am not buying into the video posted by Bansky. The knives have an awkward angle, how are they supposed to cut?
I think he added something else to the frame afterwards. Something like this banknote printing machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE7qHz_cVew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE7qHz_cVew
- kalleboo 8y agoThe EEVBlog YouTube channel (someone else already linked it) covered the implausible shredding mechanism in the Banksy video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdKdQWhlNTY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdKdQWhlNTY In addition to the impossible angle, the position also does not fit a plausible paper path, and you can also see the curvature indicative of being stuck in the roller of a traditional shredder for days/weeks/months on the bottom of the paper coming out.
- jansan 8y agoMakes you wonder how the previous owner could have not noticed the shredder. "There is a slot at the bottom of my insanely valuable Bansky artwork's frame and I can see parts of a machinery through it, but it probably doesn't mean anything."
- eigenstuff 8y agoIt'd already been noted that the frame was unusually thick
- flycaliguy 8y agoThe video was made by Banksy. Why do people trust it?
- jstanley 8y agoDid you read TFA? The suggestion is that the artwork was partially pre-shredded, with the shreds hooked over the blades, and then it's just a case of pushing the rest of the piece through the blades. Like "dragging scissors through paper" once the cut is already started.
