Had a lot of fun last Wednesday at the Upper Deck Tavern helping out the Lowcountry Bike Co-op. We made throwies (to be attached to the bikes) and played with Blobber. Here are pics of the throwies and laser fun:

Kulture Klash 3 goes off with a few hitches...

2008-11-19T16:36:51Z

So as many of you know, we were showing off our new gadgets this year at KultureKlash 3. which we were pretty pumped about, but sadly nature wasnt as pumped as we were. it rained most of the night and when it wasnt raining, it was cold as crap. so we started off inside, where the folks from KK had set up a pretty sweet projector for us, but sadly it was too bright for where we were projecting and the blobber software coudlnt see the dot, so we had to sit out for a bit. but we had a good time either way, we met some new folks and made some good contacts. so heres a shout out to the folks from KK, thanks for inviting us and letting us come play. shame we couldnt be more "involved" with the croud, but we had fun either way.

head on over to the Picasa album and check out the pics:

Having trouble with incontinence?

That's a real MUSC phone number for the Department of Psychiatry....and what looks like a great joke from Ish. Remember kids, if you do graffiti you'll regularly shit yourself. Looks like some good material for a fake PSA.

Press and New Friends

2008-10-24T19:40:16Z

If you haven't seen it yet, there's an article this week in the Charleston City Paper (check it out here). Our thanks to John Stoehr for a fun interview and a good review of what we're about. Plus, it looks like we made some new friends (we've been talking to Spaced Invaders about working on some projects).

Graffiti Documentary

2008-10-21T13:36:00Z

We have finished the initial planning phases of a documentary about the graffiti scene in Charleston are looking at a filming schedule that should end by February '09. If you think you have a unique perspective to offer or think that your work is worth a mention feel free to email the film group at film@streetlevellab.com.

Public demo and the po-po

2008-10-20T04:29:37Z

Marion square is beautiful at night, its even more beautiful when lit up by a projector and a few lasers. we met up with a photograher for the city paper and Stella from the Digitel and put on a demo sunday night, we attracted a few new faces, and a few unwanted people..... mainly cops. apparently they werent too pleased that we were doing this event with out a permit. i wonder why....

Sorry for the poor quality pics, we were wanting in the tripod dept. Thanks again to all those who came out espically those folks from the paper and all you CSCLUG guys. well done. sans 5-0

New toys!

2008-10-20T04:28:00Z

So the Guys over at CSCLUG have written a space invaders game for Blobber, so being the 1985 mind set, I made this today:

Yes, that is a laser powered Nintendo gun. you can die happy now.

New stuff from Street Level Lab

2008-10-11T02:57:45Z

So im sure some of you guys have seen our laser tagging software cooked up with CSCLUG. They use a projector, camera and some special software to let us use light to draw. so we over at sll saw a cool opportunity to whip up something fresh. The software (called blobber) tracks light in the cameras view, normally we use lasers to tell the software where we want the line, but that wasn't natural for some artist who do what we do so we made this:

This will allow us to draw using the software but with this can instead of a laser. dope right?

What the hell is this place anyway?

2008-09-23T01:17:18Z

So the crafty folks over at tagrecord.com have developed an arsenal of new techniques to take to the street. Developed by a bunch of nerds and nerd-artists working around the clock to bring you new stuff like our blobber software that allows you to draw on the sides of buildings using light from a projector and event for reverse graffiti. Streetlevel is kinda like the poppa of tagrecord and well be working on bringing you new stuff like that too.Not unlike the GRL software, minus the suck. Keep checking back here for updates- new techniques- interviews with artists and other fresh shit.
