Gemini highlights these are the possible artists from this entire photo dump- Toni D.L.C. (The Green Trash Monster), PEC – Project Enter Cheese (The Hot Dog Mural), Mittenimwald (The Red-Haired Boy Stencil).
But who I was really fascinated by, that the LLM did not capture in that initial dump, was the white outline face in the 2 images above that were absolutely everywhere I looked in Hamburg- all across town.
So I took just the 2 images above and tried again:
… the white outline drawing you provided (seen on the brick wall and a street pole) strongly resembles the characteristic drawings of the famous Hamburg graffiti artist Oz.
… the artist Oz (who passed away in 2014) was “certainly the most prolific graffiti artist of Hamburg” and was known for using simple shapes to “embellish the city.” (Gemini)
Seems odd that for the most prolific graffiti artist of Hamburg to be left out of the the initial response to the upload/ prompt…
For all the fans and skeptics, I have to say that what I am learning here is actually how deep the internet is with information and how long we have not been able to access it at this scale, readability and speed. Whether it’s accuracy or prioritization of information is anywhere near correct (or helpful) is another question and our ability to discern what is true will still be a skill acquired- perhaps more important than ever. We have to push to trust our intuition and senses as machines grow ever confident in summarizing information they have never experienced themselves.
This blog is a diary of all the spaces I have been which have inspired me and many times it is the spaces in between- no other human product highlights these in betweens than graffiti. So with this post I inaugurate a series about how we can better acknowledge the journey and not just the destination.
