Clear Creek Courant: Bear-proof trash cans in Downtown Idaho Springs are alive with pictures of local history. “The trash cans in downtown Idaho Springs are barely recognizable, as such, following a city project to incorporate our history on an unlikely canvas…. The historical pictures depict the people, places, and landmarks from a century ago that are the basis of our heritage and how this […]

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?

Yayoi Kusama Covered the World in Dots (12 Photos)
The dots escaped the canvas. Yayoi Kusama died at a hospital in Tokyo on August 14 at the age of 97, her studio announced on August 27. She continued to paint until her final days. Her dots had long since spread into public space: a pumpkin at the edge of the sea, a giant likeness leaning over a Paris façade, hundreds of eyes along a courthouse and silver spheres curling above a London station entrance. Here are 12 of her public works and installations. 🔗 Visit Yayoi Kusama’s […]https://streetartutopia.com/2026/08/27/yayoi-kusama-public-art-sculptures/

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.

A quotation from George Orwell
Artists don’t so much object to aesthetic discipline. Architects will design theatres or churches equally readily, writers will switch from the three-volume novel to the one-volume, or from the play to the film, according to the demand. But the point is that this is a political age. A writer inevitably writes — and less directly this applies to all the arts — about contemporary events, and his impulse is to tell what he believes to be the truth. But no government, no big organization, will pay for the truth. To take a crude example: can you imagine the British Government commissioning E. M. Forster to write A Passage to India? He could only write it because he was not dependent on State aid.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]

Wandered down a previously unexplored alley in #TroyNY and chanced upon a wonderful #mural – 3D printed to look (mostly) like an iconic local brick, though there are some variations. Some of the bricks have fallen off, and I kinda like that even more. #art #publicArt #murals #muralart #upstateNY #enjoytroy
