According to Tisher this stencil is a Companion Cube from the video game Portal. An interesting choice for graffiti. Portal being a puzzle solving type game maybe its some kind of comment on the world being one large game, our lives puzzles to be solved. Maybe the intention is to advocate real life as opposed to virtual life, some kind of criticism of our ever increasing and engrossing digital age. Maybe someone just really likes Portal. Who knows. I gave up video games in college after a thirty hour bender.
"I always felt really guilty if I spent too much time playing video games. It's a colossal waste of time. And I can't say it's a very satisfying feeling at the end of the day, if you've spent eight hours playing a video game; you just end up feeling kind of spent, and used." -John C. Riley
"This generation is so dead. You ask a kid, 'What are you doing this Saturday?' and they'll be playing video games or watching cable, instead of building model cars or airplanes or doing something creative. Kids today never say, 'Man, I'm really into remote-controlled steamboats.'" -Jack White
