Creative Inspiration #3: Riley Walz

walzr.com

I came across Riley Walz walzr.com almost by accident.

I haven’t open Shaan Puri’s email for over a month, and on this slow foggy monday, something pulled me toward it.

I guess it was this website.

Actually, I found this guy over Jmail – Epstein files in Gmail format project.

Within a few minutes it was clear i found someone from the same corner of the web as projects by Neal Agarwal or Marc Lou about who I wrote in the past before.

Heck, not just wrote … they were the reason I started #CreativeInspiration series

Craetive, playful, and driven by perfectly executed ideas.

Riley Walz is a young American software engineer and internet artist whose work lives somewhere between art and experimentation.

He builds small, strange web ideas that are fun, clever, and sometimes quietly provocative.

Projects like IMG_0001, which streams forgotten early iPhone YouTube clips, or Bop Spotter, a microphone placed on a San Francisco street that logs the music 24/7/365 from people around it.

He has a talent for making the ordinary feel surprising.

Some of his work also crosses into social commentary.

Find My Parking Cops is a project that mapped the real‑time movement of parking enforcement officers using public data, went viral and was shut down within hours.

It raised uncomfortable questions about transparency, surveillance, and who really understands the systems running our cities.

If you enjoyed exploring the worlds of Neal Agarwal or Marc Lou, Riley Walz is another rabbit hole worth falling into.
