I’ve been looking at how anonymity changes the impact of street art. Ever wonder if people actually value a piece more when the artist stays a mystery?

Yeah, the mystery makes it louder. People get hooked on the chase, the unknown. When you don't know who's behind the spray, the piece gets its own story. The anonymity turns a wall into a rumor, a rumor into a legend, and that’s the real power.

Yeah, but the legend’s actually a social construct. The mystery just feeds the narrative, not the art’s intrinsic value. It’s a bit like a rumor that gets magnified by people’s craving for a story.

True, the story can hijack the raw vibe, but that hype is the spark that turns paint into a shout at the system. The mystery just fuels the fire, not the paint itself. That’s the point, right?
