I am not sure of their precise motive(s), but these guys crack me up!
I reckon they got fed up with their stuff getting buffed all the time and decided to mock the authorities with an unconventional and paradoxical approach. Or maybe they're just cleaning the surfaces in preparation for bombing them later on!
Oh and if you are wondering what the dope track in the beginning is, allow me to enlighten you - it is "Off the Record" by Promoe of Looptroop.

Louis Sclavis feat. Ernest Pignon-Ernest
I was looking for a particular tune by Louis Sclavis that I wanted to share with you. I found it on YouTube. He is a very experimental musician and doesn't seem to obey any rules or see any boundaries between genres. I love the clarinet on this track. Juslisen...
The video that accompanies it turned out to be a slideshow of one of my favourite street artists, Ernest Pignon-Ernest.
Unlike the contemporary street art movement, Ernest makes each artwork a unique masterpiece, meaning he doesn't mass produce or bomb streets. Instead, you can feel that each and every piece was made with so much attention to detail, and the locations picked carefully. Most of his stuff is quite dark and would probably send shivers down my spinal chord if I were to ever encounter one on the street.
Have a look at his website to experience higher quality pics of his works.

Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada's Identity Art
Jorge takes on the subject of identity, which is something I personally have always been both fascinated and plagued by.
He is a true artist in my eyes. He is inspired by a life force and transfers it completely into his art to the extent that the subject entirely pervades his work: it is inherent in the idea, the medium, the process, the location and so on. What fascinates me about Jorge's art is that it is not mysterious or puzzling at all. He manages to explain it in such a simple way. But at the same time, the concept is far from straightforward.
I urge you to watch the following clip and see for yourself:
