Graffiti Research Lab in Milwaukee


From Lane Hall:
Folks,

You don't want to miss Layton Lecture and Visiting Artist Evan Roth on
Thursday, April 19th, 7:30 p.m. at UWM's Curtin 175. (free and open to
the public).

Evan Roth is a media maker interested in uses of technology in popular
culture and the urban environment. He is currently doing some of the most compelling public art projects in the world. He is a founding member of Graffiti Research Lab and a developer of multiple technology hacker applications, including
“throwies.” He is also a senior fellow at the Eyebeam OpenLab, an
open source creative technology research and development lab for the public
domain. (Where, by the way, Intermedia grad alum Paul Amitai also
works.)

You can view his amazing output and viral interventions at the
following sites (but be sure to spend some time at Graffiti Research
Lab!)

++++++++++++++++++++++
Join us on Friday, April 20th at 3:00 in the 3rd floor of Kenilworth for a hands-on "Throwies" workshop! Learn this simple hack that is rocking the internet and engage in thinking about electronic palettes and new forms of interaction within contested public spaces. This event is free, but space is limited, so please sign up at the Grad Office (A255) in the Art Building on UWM campus.

Please contact Lane Hall with any questions.
