The Banana People Said:

---

It has a multiplicity of meanings.
Because it is simple.  and that is one reason.
As a message it has been hyper-simplified; it is synthetic.
A Symbol utilizing symbolisms,
An Icon, or.. an expression with an iconography synthesized to the point that might seem meaningless - with no point.
Useless and absurd. that is what it is.
- The Banana is a Joke to Stupidity.
It is odd, oddity with a sense of humor (thanks to the banana)
Humoristic; unthreatening as an intervention.
- I wanted to bring some humor to the Texas sky
It is banal.
It is Visual.
It is a fiction. It is live 3D. It is surreal.
It is dream-like.
In the land of dreamers and the ones with faith.
A banana appearing in the Texas sky might seem like a message.
As a signal. (Perhaps to give direction or as a prophetic sign).

It is a Mark,
It is representation and
About showing presence.

The banana is pop (and foreigner).
It is a common thing, and yet, it comes from far away.
- ..because  there are no bananas in Texas, at least no banana plantations. - bananas do not grow in Texas.
This intervention has irony.
Like the paradox about localized actions with global dimensions.

This is a daring action, defiant like a cowboy act.
And the banana is macho and phallic, they say.

It is in Texas because it has oil,
and a lot of Walmarts, Exxons and Halliburtons. (and The Ranch)
It is a buffoon act, trying to impress
Texan dominant Aerospace, and all the Gun Clubs.

At the end it as a Show, a banana in the sky is an odd celebration to spectacle,
to the advertisement industries; and to the Warhol Art.
