Calling all writers, street artists, prankster, bikers, protesters, citizens and untouchables! The Graffiti Research Lab will be in Rotterdam from February 7th through the 10th. We’re taking control of the Renzo Piano KPN Telecom Building and turning the Kop Van Zuid into the People’s Revolutionary Green Laser Light District. We are turning the 37 x 72 meter screen into a place to display your uncurated animations and graphics. The back-side of the KPN is becoming a giant open wall you can write on with a BFL (big fucking laser). And throughout the week, the G.R.L. will venture outside the green zone on sorties to laser tag and projection bomb the city of Rotterdam on the BORF riot bike. Join us!
Check out our raw proof-of-concept laser tag R&D:
If you are near Rotterdam, hook up with us on the opening night of the Rotterdamn Art Fair (February 7th) and contribute your hand styles to the KPN tower. Send us an email or cell number to megaohmresistor at hotmail dot com to receive electronic and SMS messages regarding the dates and times of actions in Rotterdam and Amsterdam in early February.
If you can’t make it to the Netherlands in February, send us your own animations and graphics for the LED facade on the KPN Building. The KPN Telecom building features a 70 meter tall low resolution LED facade. Send us your 22 pixel wide by 41 tall monochrome animated gifs or quicktime movies and we will convert them to work on the big screen. Animation will operate at 4 frames per second. No curation (except hate speech we don’t agree with) or any corporate logo. Submit you animations to fi5e at ni9e dot com. We need your animations by the 6th of February. We will document every animation and post video and flicks online.
