We have a house. It has a Banksy. We’re not selling it.
There’s a house, in an old seaside town on the Eastern tip of England, with a Banksy on the wall. The last untouched piece from Banky's series The Great British Spraycation. Still there. Still intact. Still unsold.
Most of the time, the story would end here. A wall gets cut out. The artwork gets shipped to Basel. A Certificate of Authenticity arrives in a Peli case. We all move on.
But what if it stayed on the wall?
The Banksy House Project is a live experiment that asks what happens when we preserve a piece of public art in situ and build something entirely new around it..
…not a product, but a protocol where the value isn’t in the object but in the choice not to extract from it.
What emerges is not an artwork, but an interface.
One that connects physical space to digital consensus, that bridges value, story and provenance between the real world and the blockchain, and invites us to imagine what happens when the art stays put and the digital network moves around it.
“ I've learnt from experience that a painting isn't finished when you put down your brush – that's when it starts. ”

Residency 1: The Wall
The Banksy House Project is presented as an infinite game, onethat stretches from this moment into multiple potential distances.
From your first interaction you’ll build your own unique story through your interactions, curation and above all, your level of commitment to the underlying ideals and opportunities that we will incrementally present.
We operate in Residencies, each one a themed reveal and provocation.
This is Residency 1: The Wall.
You’re so early.
The Declaration of the_daves_001
The Daves are an accidental assembly of the ordinary who found themselves standing between a wall and the forces that would rather see it stripped, sold, or forgotten.
The Banksy on the wall is a signal, a challenge, a reminder that culture doesn’t wait for permission. The Daves exist to keep that signal alive.
