  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?

  12. Falling for It (10 Photos)

    A flat wall is just a flat wall, until an artist decides to play a trick on your eyes. Suddenly, a solid brick corner turns into a massive tiger ready to pounce. A plain pavement opens up into a glowing pit. Across cities from Patras to Mons, creators are bending perspective and turning everyday architecture into giant optical illusions. You walk past what you think is a normal building, only to realize a T-Rex is crashing through the plaster. These aren't just paintings. They are […]
