Graffiti Research Lab

The Graffiti Research Lab (G.R.L.) is a collective of artists being attached to the “open” laboratory of the Eyebeam foundation (“Eyebeam Openlab”) which develops tools intended for “technologically to support the individuals to modify and reinvest in a creative way their environments invaded by the culture of the trade and the company” , thus transposing the spirit Open source in the world of the arts of the street. Each one of their project is documented in a very precise way on their site, accompanied by Vidéo S and instructions detailed to encourage people to pass them-even to the realization.
