Refuse to be named, while pointing art as a new esthetic experience of politics, is a challenge nevertheless regularly damaged by the digital strategies of unveiling of the most famous unknown's name on the street-art area. With his anonymity, Banksy joins masters of the Renaissance whose artistic virtuosity was strengthened by the impossible identification of the author of the work. The analysis of its performances, the most recent to oldest, will try to understand the meaning of the agir banksyen, hollow artist and relief work.
