The Technocrats of Urban Communication

Graffiti and the Geek underworld have always been connected in one way or another, but now a new group wants to take the connection to the next level.

The Graffiti Research Lab is dedicated to outfitting graffiti artists with open source technologies. Pretty cool. The graffiti scene has moved from pure paint to LED throwies and art via light projection. I really like this new movement because of its less-damaging outcome.

Check out this Wired.com write-up on this movement in NYC.
