"I consider my work public art-- both my architecturally-integrated glass and steel installations in public spaces and aerial kinetic pieces which exist in our most public space and sky. The human limits that I am most anxious to escape are proscribed by the prepared gallery or performance space. My approach is always the same-- anything goes." 

-- David Wagner

"I disagree with the statement 'To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits.' Art in its very nature is about the human experience. It is in its humanity that art transcends decades and cultures. The connection of Giorgio De Chirico and Banksy is their similar striving-- in Giorgio's case, to transcend 'logic and common sense' and in Banksy's case, to transcend the confines of laws governing acceptable public art. It is human nature to set up systems and laws and it is human nature to try and break those rules. By trying to escape all human limits, by trying to create immortality, one merely exposes the shackles of mortality. It is through this failure to truly escape human limits that sincere and honest artwork is created."
