A study by British scientists based on statistical techniques used by the police to find criminals suggests that the mysterious street artist Banksy it is actually an Englishman about 42-year-old Robin Gunningham.
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London published in the latest issue of the journal Journal of Spatial Science a job in which analyzed more than 140 locations where the graffiti artist has left some of its listed works.
from this analysis, scientists they created a map with “hot spots” , or places where Banksy moves recurrently.
When comparing the data obtained in the “geographic profiling” with public information available, they found that several addresses related to Gunningham repeated constantly.
According to the researchers, Banksy repeatedly go to a pub, a park and an apartment in Bristol, as well as three residences in London.
This is not the first time that the suspicions about the identity of street artist focus on Gunningham, since in 2008 the Daily Mail and said q ue that is the name It is hidden behind the paintings made with spray and full of politically charged Banksy.
The head of this research biologist Steven Le Comber, told the BBC that “surprised” if the man in question that is not street artist.
“ If you go to Google and write Banksy and Gunningham you will come to 43,500 responses ” said the scientist to defend the connection between the two identities.
Spencer Chainey, an expert on Security and Criminal Science at University College London, l e removed meanwhile credibility to the study by stating that the BBC does not meet the usual standards of forensic science.
The criminology holds that killings and other incidents take place near where they live offenders, a hypothesis that has been tested recently in other fields such as tracking outbreaks of infectious diseases.
in January, Banksy left which so far is his last public footprint, a mural on a wall in front of the French embassy in London in which he criticized the use of tear gas in a refugee camp near Calais (France) by a drawing of Cosette, one of the protagonist of the play “the Miserable s”.
