Hi,
As far as I am aware, there are only two ways of finding removed artworks on the app, and both of them rely on either luck or existing knowledge.
Method 1: opening an existing artwork, where there is a timeline associated with it.
Method 2: Opening a list of artworks associated with an artist, scrolling through their works and noting any marked as removed.
Would it be possible to have on the app map filter an option to show only the removed works? Coventry is undergoing some major redevelopment in the centre, and many buildings have been lost; some of them had murals. I’d like to upload them, but what would the point be, if no one even knows to look for them?
Also, if a new artwork is going up, wouldn’t it help the hunter uploading that marker if they could check on the map to see if there used to be an artwork there? Sure, hunters should know the area, but what if the art had been removed long before they got into the street art game?
An option on the filter would be a great way to have a look at the past.
