Special Patrol Group And The Hack Pack

I was just in the Poster Remediated exhibition at the 25th Poster Biennial in the Poster Museum of Warsaw. Alongside my work was Vermibus, the Brandalism project, and a small glass case for the Special Patrol Group's Hack Pack. I was under the impression these little artistic intervention kits were only available at Banksy's Dismaland as a one off stunt. Over the past two weeks I have met some of the mischief makers behind this amazing project and realize that they can be purchased through the internet [HERE]. Not only that but the price of the keys are nearly 3 times cheaper than I am able to sell them, making them fantastic for the interventionist looking for a good deal.
