Banksy's stunt at Sotheby's has long been the talk of the town. This typical Banksy spectacle once again clearly shows how the contemporary art market works: the artwork has increased in value by more than 50% since then. Love it or hate it, it's an instant piece of art history and a lesson in how to manipulate the attention economy.

Nevertheless, the internet also showed itself from the nicer side; it didn't take too long before the first tutorials appeared on how to make your own 'Banksy Shredder'. So if you're still in art school and don't have a good plan for your graduation yet, here's how to build your own 'Banksy Shredder' step-by-step.

Do you think this is too much work? Then you can always follow IKEA's DIY instructions.
