What you see up there are two master pieces from the GOD of Street Art Banksy. The notorious Englishman bombed and tagged nearly every single place in Britain, so that he needed some other place to continue his everlasting endeavours.
Anyways, the first piece presents a robot which was drawn by the guy who's now kneeling beside him with a robot-kind-of-thinking-cap made of carton on his head and a marker in his hand. What I get from this piece is that it is a teasing of the ol' boy Capitalism. Actually it's a figure of Karl Marx' "Alienation" theory. Wow, that was too deep maybe. kurze explanation: Karl Marx is a fat old German guy who had problems with the world around him. He literally loathed the way the bosses around the world treated their workers in general, and came up with an alternative for the way we are living today(cool guy isn't it) which is the infamous: SOCIALISM.
According to this "alienation" thing, workers, who take place in the production of certain things in the industry, eventually become strangers of the product to which they've contributed. Ultimately they become slaves of their own products. Well if you don't get a shit about what I said, think about your aspirations on buying new cars, new computers, new iPhones, hell even new PS3 games!

In this second picture you can see 7 different spray cans of Campbell's very best Tomato Spray. And a pedestrian. Ignoring the pedestrian, now what's up with those spray cans or rather Tomato Spray Cans?
The idea of harvesting reputation from Campbell's Soup Can actually originates from the Pop Art guy Andy Warhol.
