| Up from Gorilla art and non-permanent graffiti. My name is Evan Roth. I'm with the Graffiti Research Lab. And my name is James, and I'm part of the Graffiti Research Lab. The Graffiti Research Lab is really just an art project and Evan and I started it. It's basically just two of us coming up with ways that individual people without a lot of money can get their content up in the city. At heart it's about this action, and that action is counter to the dominant force. The Laser Tag Project, that's basically a large three-wheel work trike that has on it like a self-powered, gas generator which powers a visual projector, a laptop, a camera, and it allows you to take a high-power laser pointer and you can look at the surface and write on it and then it should be left in light. We get this opportunity for people, say, here's this giant structure, we are inviting you to our country, we are giving you these money and we'd like you to do something on it. We want to be out to get graffiti writers from the area and allow them to write on this building. That project was completely permission-based. We had help getting the workers out of the building at certain times so that they wouldn't get blind with the laser. The police did still manage to show up and when the police came three different times to see what is going on and at one point, you can see in the video actually, one of the head officers Martin, writes his name apparently Martine Rocks. A lot of our work has to do with the fact that there's this over proliferation of advertisements in the city. Subway system has developed these large, video displays that run advertisements all day long. Any idea was that with a piece of phone board, you can cut in a message through the phone board, put that over top of the advertisement, and now the advertisement's been turned into (like) glowing text whatever your content wants to be. Graffiti may be a quality of life offense, but the overabundance of ads is also a quality of life offense. I'm not trained in the law, and I think a lot of the tools that we use exist in a gray area. We're just gonna do our thing whatever it is, we're not gonna worry about asking permission and then if someone arrests us, all these up to court figure that out. And that does it for the webcasts today for all of us here in ABC news. I'm Dan Harris. Thank you for taking the time. And please click on us again tomorrow. |
