  6. I "Ghosted Myself" .

    Information wants to be free. Information is priceless.

    Somewhere between those two, cognitive dissonance becomes de-prioritized and ends up as public notebooking via online blog or social blog posts.

    I stopped blogging in great detail about my unique, new-to-the-world, Labyrinth designs and its underlying Islamic Geometry math used to create them.

    I simply posted the "After" photos of my Labyrinths made in Public Spaces like parks and weekend festivals, keeping the "how to" "Before" and "During" photos to myself, not sharing them online at all.

    Without even noticing it, I have almost stopped posting any photos of my works anywhere.

    Why?

    AI Scraping of my Labyrinth and public artwork blogs.

    Two plus years ago, the page views on years' old posts began to go up, from dozens to THOUSANDS per post.

    Deciphering the referral traffic, and it was almost completely bots visiting my old posts.

    Do I want AI Companies selling my self-taught skills as their own?

    I don't know what these companies are doing with my Information.

    I stopped Instagramming [sic], Mastodoning, and blogging my Labyrinth stuff.

    Online, it "looks" like I haven't made any new Labyrinths in years,

    Yet, In the real world, it's been a most productive time in terms of new public art created around Toronto since before the Pandemic.

    I think all the way back to why I previously shut down or removed a number of personal websites.

    One of those reasons was the comments from spam people/automated.

    I find still feel that way now, but it is the AI scraping, in lieu of the comment spam of yesteryear.

    I wonder how many other people have also "Ghosted" Themselves?

  11. 15 Sculptures You (probably) Didn’t Know Existed

    A fork in a lake. A shark in a roof. A portrait hidden inside fifty steel columns. These sixteen sculptures use cliffs, shadows, water, buildings, light, and even the viewer’s position as part of the work. Some are permanent landmarks; others travel or were created as temporary installations. 🎶 “Mélodie oubliée” — By Luo Li Rong In this workshop photo, Luo Li Rong uses a torch on the bronze surface of Mélodie oubliée. The finished work is 205 cm tall and weighs 250 kg, […]

  12. 45 Cats – Purrrrrfect Street Art Pieces

    Cats have a special talent for taking over cities. Street artists clearly love them just as much as we do! This collection shows how many forms cat art can take in public spaces. We have gathered giant lifelike murals, glowing paste-ups, sculptures, stained glass, graffiti stickers, painted rocks, and snowy little interventions. Some of these cats hide in boxes. Others stretch across entire buildings. A few only need simple graffiti lines to steal the scene. Scroll through our ultimate cat […]

From a “Dog Library” offering sticks to share, to a poster reminding you to “Have a great day,” these creations turn ordinary moments into something brighter. Mixed among them are thoughtful questions and playful edits to street signs — proof that art and wit can live anywhere, even on a sidewalk or a stop […]

    This sculpture, Eric Gill's "Prospero and Ariel", was one of my favourite pieces of public art in London.

    Now it is horribly marred by the protective screen placed over following its vandalization by some odious crank.
