As seen from Google, this seems to be like shouting "fire" in a theater when one compares it to the desparate and real pleas of Hurricane Katrina victims. A reminder context is everything.
My mind starts flooding (no pun intended) with connections: a black artist in a predominately whte artist show writing in white stone on a predominately black roof of a museum that seems to have more white patrons; help is needed in a a country whose initials are U.S. that is US; a cry for help is such a vulnerable place to be, reaching out for others, asking others to reach out for oneself, and inversely a self-centered act; museums are build on high ground and the people of the 9th Ward were below sea level . . .you have to step back or fly over to see the devastation of it all.

i liked the piece, i didnt know it was 'up there" and i liked the fact you could discover it slowly if you wanted... i see it as having to do with surveilance and google maps intrusions into our spaces
interesting...

A true call to the world's cries. Everything that needs expressed is said in those two words. It's really super awesome that he was able to say what was on everyone's mind, and make it visible for the world to see.
