The Open City exhibition “opens” March 1 at Eyebeam (NYC). An exhibition of media and tactics by artists who practice in the street using digital projection, spray paint, urban pranks, robotics and custom machinery, site-specific sculpture, homemade markers and ink recipes, the internet, hacking and re-appropriation of existing urban systems. Open City will highlight the work of graffiti writers, artists, protesters, pranksters and hackers who reclaim public space by communicating through the surfaces and structures that surround us.
The exhibition will also include a series of workshops exploring tool building, tactics, techniques and approaches to communication by any means necessary within the urban context.

It leaves buildings intact, but minds irretrievably altered. Graffiti Research Lab has developed a portable “building painter” that blasts words and images onto office buildings using a guided laser projection system. It is a thing of beauty to behold
Most exciting, as believers in opensource, they are sharing the software . The projector, lodged in a van, tracks the contrast made by a pen laser as someone writes something on a building. Presto! Something useful to do with all those ugly offices!
Watch a video of how they do it here.
