Looks like a new one has appeared in London. Waiting for more details, not on his Instagram yet but looks good to me.

[Dermoth]

Looks real. Anyone know where it is?

[LJCal]

It looks like Shoreditch/Haggerston/Hoxton. I know the buildings in the background and pretty sure they are near Kingsland Road somewhere

[Minecrafter]

The fact that it landed on Streetartnews first confirms that it's a Banksy.

They uploaded pretty much every new piece first and always declared as "Something new from Banksy ". I guess it's a good platform to launch the "Is it , isn't it"- rumours from 😉

That looks like the Marylebone Rd just by Edgware Rd flyover.. if so, drove past yesterday & wasn’t there (didn’t notice it..)

You are 100% spot on. This is a Google street view of before.

[Acme Thunderer]

This should help someone find it. Look for this building (with 2 x 10foot tags) on the corner of Old Marylebone Road, then it is where the red mark is.

Close to - NW1 5DZ

I’m in London on Saturday so hope it is still there. 🤞



This is the exact spot next to Edgware Road Station shutters…



Aerial view of where it is…

Good call 

[SFBM]

So what does it mean?
Something to do with AI etc?

Looks like: the machine (AI) is still operational even though they tried to "pull the plug". And it is calling for a new world ... surely with rules and laws of its own?!

[Sam Am]

The robot reminds me of Sun Yuan and Peng Yu’s large-scale installation Can’t Help Myself (2016)

This book might have something to do with it.

Even if it’s not, this looks like an interesting read. Thanks

There is a 30 minutes interview here (mentions AI / robots).

Edgware Road apparently…?

Could be: while the machine is concerned with creation (imagination), the humans are only focused on destruction

[ollie123]

The machine you’re referring to is an amalgamation of us, all of us. Good bye mediocre creativity, goodbye intelligence.
Long live AI
(Maybe)

[Londown 01]

... and cleverly the robot is creating graffiti! So it is (also) really doing Banksy's job

[LJCal]

I think it’s saying humanity has become the slaves of technology, and the fact the robot is doing graffiti is an ironic dig at AI art.

[JW]

It's a no from me.

Bland message and it would be really strange timing given what is going on in the world right now.

Duh should know this I drive down the A40 and pass it about 5 times a week. There’s some very similar building on Waterson Street hence the confusion.

[lukas01]

Confirmed. It was done overnight.

Is a different world possible?
If you change who lives there I'm sure yes!

These days, is there weird timing and not-so-weird timing?

Currently I don't think it's possible.

[House of Arts]

No new stance on Palestine eh?

[hnkpnk]

I doubt this is Banksy. An unclear message and what has happened to their faces? Thought it was an image quality problem, but it was worse than I thought in closeup pics.

[hnkpnk]

Are the people slaves to the robot and moving it so it can paint over a stretch of wall? But that doesn’t match with the broken electric cable.

[Daniel Silk]

Yeah, the quality of the photo makes it all questionable as a Banksy. I would have thought if the image was leaked by his people, the photo would be better quality.
Unless the just leaked the location, and the photo was taken by someone else?
