Step 1Hackers + Graffiti Writers

Hackers + Graffiti Writers
Hackers and graffiti writers unite! The street and the Net are both filled with opportunities for small people to alter the course of large systems. Hackers pieced up the Internet by sharing ideas, and writers hacked a billion-dollar transportation system to move their art around town for free.

It's art. This guy is talking about using his creativity and skill to transform a barren and forgotten strip of concrete into something amazing. I understand this isn't David or the Mona Lisa but it's a hell of a lot better than the BZ blood tags we have thrown up in my town.

best damn instructable there is man! me and my best friend Heaton went out and took some pics with a glow stick and are work on our projection bombing! We live and a plain old town not a city but there are plenty of football fields to write our messages on Peace

1. Don't say 'Peace' unless you mean it 2. Peace and Love go together, you cant have one without the other 3. A Graffiti Research Lab probably wont promote Peace and Love, considering the instructable said 'with rap music' and rap music talks about shooting people when they look at your shoes wrong.
May 26, 2011. 3:55 PMCheswick32 says:
First off, that's extremely prejudice. True, some rap is about "shooting people when they look at your shoes wrong" but that's only the commercial stuff. If you actually would be open to new ideas, you would hear that all rap isn't just about violence. Second, when the instructable was making a reference to a video made by the Graffiti Research Lab. Don't Hate.

oh really? ALL rap music is about shooting people? thats interesting because the rap i listen to is about anti war, and everyday life. and many graffiti writers, of all sorts uh.. DO promote peace and love in different forms. if you've ever looked at graffiti a large percent of it is about exactly that. peace and love.
Aug 15, 2008. 8:04 AMNeverThere says:
not 100% true. i think graffiti writers (artists) would be more attracted to underground rap and hip-hop, like Aesop Rock and El-P, who both are trying to campaign against war (although not in the same way others are, i'll give you that one.) i agree with the peace and love statement though, thats totally correct.

Where does "Get loads of funding from an art gallery; proceed to dump paint all over their building" fit into this scheme?
Apr 9, 2010. 5:35 PMShogunD says:
Pahahaha. This sounds like a plan. Lets go do it.
Dec 19, 2007. 6:18 PMrandofo says:
I think you do that after you have started your own Graffiti Research Lab.

Last year or so I started a FLGRL, Florida Graffiti Research Lab with some friends down here in FL, but that hasn't done anything for years, yet I still update the website...
Feb 11, 2010. 2:50 AMguy90 says:
Epic! Liking the imagery you've used for each page too,nice one! :)
Dec 21, 2007. 1:20 AMoligore says:
"lick expensive artwork" I thought graffiti artists of all people would know what it feel like to have your art damaged.
Nov 15, 2009. 8:40 AMJohnJY says:
I think what he meant was: My works better then yours!!!HAHAHA!!
But he just said licking artwork.

It feels awesome. In the first Gulf War, I used to get the next day's paper as soon as it came out, cut it and xerox it until it was Today's Poster, then go around town putting them up. Some of the posters would be rudely torn down, and some would be carefully untaped and taken away... I'm not sure which made me happier.

Your name is fi5e, but...but...But...That's the name Evan Roth, creater of the Graffiti Research Lab and F.A.T,gave him self...are you Evan Roth,or just a fan.(*A.K.A. Impostor Getting My Hopes Up,So I Turn Into a Crying Baby(because I didn't get to communicate with Evan Roth...)
I think that's his old name though, because his website is ni9e.com.

How true...as soon as computers become self-aware we ARE in trouble. The Terminator movie series is a forbearer of things that could possibly come to pass.

I'm almost done building my own GRL, thanks for the instructable.

You should read the book "The Cocka Hola Company " by Matias Faldbakken. Its not really about this kind of art but about the view of life you need...
Jan 11, 2008. 9:42 PMToulouse says:
this is pretty funny. good ideas in here too
Dec 24, 2007. 6:07 PMFireandIcebike says:
Graffiti research certainly sounds like an extremely ambiguous undertaking. Geez!
Dec 18, 2007. 6:34 PMrandofo says:
Awwww shucks... I've already started my own Graffiti Removal Lab. I think the big difference is in Step 5. The GRL puts rock music in our videos.
