Hello. I'd like to know what the quality criteria are for the works uploaded to the platform. It seems to me that this isn't always easy to define. Thanks and regards.

Should we hunt the mural with commercial info?

Murals like those two I would say “no”, as they look like primarily advertising material. However, often businesses will commission artists to paint their walls, but they do not look like advertising, nothing wrong with the ones that don’t look like advertising, I guess what I’m saying is, just because it’s commissioned by a business doesn’t exclude it.

This is a part of the answer on your question. I notified a few of your uploads today… our hunters are not searching for a painted little washing machine… .

One question we might ask ourselves is what visitors are really hoping to see when they are on holiday. Do they want to find hundreds of painted garage doors, or would they prefer a smaller number of truly remarkable artworks?

For example, shutters with simple motifs—like vegetables for a shop—can be nice, but if the shop is open the artwork often isn’t even visible. Because of that, it may not always add much value for someone exploring the city.

Perhaps we don’t need to upload every square meter of paint we come across. Focusing a bit more on standout pieces could make the map more meaningful and enjoyable for visitors.

Personally, I would rather visit a place with 20 stunning creations than a city with 200 painted garage doors (just a painted car) by unknown artists (and Sevilla has a massive amount of Unknowns ).
