The United Kingdom’s Government Communications Headquarters is in Cheltenham, so Banksy created a mural with satire on government surveillance. Banksy’s "Spy Booth" artwork appeared on the wall of a privately-owned house overnight in April 2014. The mural was very popular with tourists, and so the Georgian house became one of the UK’s most photographed homes and was given listed status protection by Cheltenham Borough Council in 2015. The Spy Booth artwork, , featured three government agents in brown trench coats and sunglasses listening in to conversations from a BT telephone box. It appeared after Edward Snowden’s revelations in 2013 of widespread phone tapping by western governments. In 2016, the owner of the home featuring Banksy’s Spy Booth had to carry out urgent repairs to the property which resulted in the artwork being destroyed. Banksy: Anonymous British street artist. Banksy is one of the most influential artists of our time. Next to that, the elusive street artist has developed an incredible, recognized body of work that carries a political punch! The street artist and activist uses satire and dark humor to unpack topics like anti-war, anti-authority, and environmental and socio-political issues. As a result, Banksy’s heavy impact on this world unites humans and art lovers - as the street artist’s work connects our collective consciousness.
