On Episode 17 of Visual Noise: Walls Talk, hosts TRP613 and Urban Ninja head to Cologne, Germany, to talk with the strange and fascinating creative world of Greentaxonomy.
Greentaxonomy is a German street artist and digital artist known for creating creepy, unusual hybrid organisms that blur the boundaries between plants, animals and imagined life forms. Their work moves between digital art, sticker art and street art, often using green imagery and surreal combinations that feel equal parts scientific, organic and beautifully unsettling.
The artist has been active in the street-art scene in and around Cologne and has appeared internationally, including through collaborations and street-art projects. Greentaxonomy has also been documented as collaborating with fellow street artists, including Planet Selfie, and their work has been spotted as part of the wider European street-art community.
A major part of the conversation is sure to explore Greentaxonomy’s involvement in the #nohatefamily movement. The project was created by a group of Cologne street artists in 2018 as a creative response to hatred in society, using artist-designed stickers, collages and international participation to promote love, diversity and solidarity. Greentaxonomy was one of the founding artists involved in developing the project.
TRP613 and Urban Ninja dig into the artist’s creative process, the strange world of “digital taxidermy,” sticker culture, the evolution of an idea from the screen to the street, and the importance of connecting artists across countries and communities.
Episode 17 is a trip into a creepy green world where biology gets remixed, classification gets weird, and street art becomes a way to connect people.
