:-) good stash of vallium and amphetamines though, so the rumours go. as an aside, i introduced a few people to Exit Through the Gift Shop last night and they are converts to the religion of Banksy. What a cracking movie, especially when they're exploring his studio... |

Who is Banksy? The Identity of the Artist Banksy, by Dr Plip on Mar 3, 2016 14:47:54 GMT 1, "..analyse the spatial patterns of Banksy artworks in Bristol and London. The model takes as input the locations of these artworks, and calculates the probability of ‘offender’ residence across the study area."
So we're looking for someone that has ties to London and Bristol. This revelation makes that gravitational wave discovery look like ripples in a pond.

Who is Banksy? The Identity of the Artist Banksy, by mojo on Mar 3, 2016 16:58:48 GMT 1, Scientific Stalking?.... could of just stuck p i n s in a map and come up with something equally as vague ......
Don't scientists have better things to do?
My 5 year old nephew bought a letter home from school a couple of weeks ago to say his class will be studying the paintings of Banksy for this years art project, Painting for Peace. They've created a beautiful huge peace sign made from all of their hand prints, based on CND Soldiers. (similar to Marcus Harvey although 100% less dark and with more colour) He is now obsessed with Banksy and drawing peace signs everywhere. We're making a stencil at the weekend and will secretly be 'getting up' on the garden shed once it gets dark
so cute teaching activist vandalism in little school..... makes auntie mojo very proud

Who is Banksy? The Identity of the Artist Banksy, by Peter Bengtsen on Mar 3, 2016 18:41:16 GMT 1, It would be interesting to read the article. Just not $50 interesting. I'm curious about this: "Our analysis highlights areas associated with one prominent candidate (e.g., his home), supporting his identification as Banksy." Robin Cunningham?
I have just read the journal article. It comes across as rather gimmicky, and the foundation of the results it arrives at seems a bit weak.
For example, the authors "expect 95 percent of artworks to lie within approximately two kilometers of a source (e.g., a home)". In other words, the assumption is made that Banksy would typically not travel further than 2 kilometers from his home to put up an artwork. The authors base this on a specific analytical component - a sigma value - which is "a typical value for ‘criminal’ movement in urban environments".
The use of this particular sigma value should mean that the authors - for analytical, not necessarily moral, purposes - designate Banksy's activities as "criminal".
However, at the end of the article they write: "While some see Banksy’s street art as illegal graffiti, there is often an element of political protest in his subversive epigrams. His spatial patterns are therefore similar to those of others who post political messages in public places."
The statement that the spatial patterns are similar to that of others who post political messages in public places could potentially mean that the sigma value used to determine the expected distance from an artwork to a "source" would be affected, unless the sigma value for "criminal activity" and "political protest activity" happens to be exactly the same. This issue is not addressed in the article.
This is just one problem with the article, and potentially the study, that jumped out at me when I first read it.
Another is the very last paragraph of the article, which reads: "Ethical note: the authors are aware of, and respectful of, the privacy of Mr. Gunningham and his relatives and have thus only used data in the public domain. We have deliberately omitted precise addresses."
This comes across as disingenuous and/or uninformed. I would suggest that, from an ethical point of view, the authors should have stuck to their original idea and kept the "suspect" anonymous. I would further suggest that they chose not to do this because they were aware of the media attention their work could potentially attract if they included the name.
