Dedicated to outfitting graffiti artists with open source technologies for urban communication. The GRL was formed in the Eyebeam R&D Open Lab in 2006.
Please join us for a screening of Still We Ride, followed by a to-the-streets demonstration of the GRL's laser tag.
Still We Ride (37 min.), a documentary on events surrounding the 2004 Republican National Convention in NYC and the Critical Mass bicycling movement, will be introduced by the filmakers, Andrew Lynnn and Elizabeth Press. Following the screening, the GRL will demonstrate laser tagging with the bike projector on the streets of NYC. Please come along for the ride...with your own bike, if you like.
Join us for the Interference Closing Reception!
