What would happen if a machine and a graffiti writer collaborated? This question was the beginning of Gradient Descent, an editorial project where Alone HM, Alsino Skowronnek, Theodor Guelat, and Team Flight Mode join forces on a journey into unchartered territory: a process in which graffiti is fed to artificial intelligence, which returns outputs that, repurposed, are translated back into the real world.
Gradient Descent is featured in the latest SPECTRUM Public Information System’s episode about innovation. The book will be presented at SPECTRUM via De Amicis 23, Milan, on Thursday, Dec. 21 from 6 PM.

Gradient Descent - Tagging Technology
Graffiti has been ingrained in the fibres of art ever since its heyday between the 60’s and 90’s street art boom. A rebellious act of bold strokes, angulated lettering, and vibrant colour-clashing - all coming together on canvas’ that spans from concrete buildings to metallic shells of trains. Graffiti has forever been reluctant to conform - it ‘rages against the machine’ - but have you ever wondered what it would look like when these 2 worlds collaborate? We give you Gradient Descent.
As a collaborative project and book by Alone [@alonetheartist ], Alsino Skowronnek [@alsinoskowronnek ], Theodor Guelat [@theodorguelat ], and Team Flight Mode [@team_flightmode ], this group of artists pondered on the question of what would happen if AI and graffiti would collide. As an exploration into the relationship between technology and creativity, Gradient Descent is a book which pursues answers into uncharted territory; what if the machines were to be the ones tagging themselves instead?
The book is a blurred amalgamation of graffiti that has been skewed and altered just enough to feel at home, yet unfamiliar all the same. Exploring aspects of pioneering, experimenting, and modifying - old-school aesthetics are translated into the modern-day digital age, preserving and sometimes breaking fundamental structures.
To celebrate, the team also launched with an exhibition which brought together both ends of the spectrum, AI and graffiti. This tangible visual/immersive experience had graffiti on TV’s and scarcely tagged up walls, all whilst inside a liminal space acting for the perfect room for this type of project; something that teeters on the cusp of reality yet not quite feeling familiar.
Gradient Descent feels raw and rebellious, as if a natural evolution of graffiti. Despite the use of AI being a controversial topic in art, this only further amplifies the crux of the art form. Graffiti has forever been a controversial form of art, so it is only natural that we find new ways to defy the status quo. Gradient Descent feels like graffiti’s next step in doing this.

Did you know about this hidden gem from 2020?
Flight Mode Vol. 4, published by Spray Daily and created by Team Flight Mode, brings together 208 pages of train and subway graffiti from across the global scene.
You can pick up “Flight Mode 4 - The Journey Home” here:
This expanded fourth volume distills the core of the Flight Mode series — raw documentation, atmosphere, and styles from some of the most respected writers featured in the archive. Artists like Edward Nightingale, Ixap, Alone and Sfaer appear throughout, alongside many more names tied to international train writing culture.
The book was released in a strictly limited edition of 650 copies and includes an exclusive poster, making it both a serious graffiti publication and a collectible print object. Large 200×240 mm format, English text, and high production quality throughout.
A strong piece of train graffiti history from the Spray Daily era.
