The Berliner Dom Projected with Graffiti
In 1894, when German Emperor Wilhelm II ordered the construction of the neoclassicist Berliner Dom, otherwise known as the Berlin Cathedral, he probably didn't think it would turn out like this. Projected with the visual musings of graffiti artist Jaybo (specifically, Disney cartoon hands forming Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa), the Dom is always a spectacle...but not like this. Here's the cathedral on any other day: More »

GRL Documentary Switches Us Onto Electronic Street Art
Never heard of the Graffiti Research Lab? Well, if we tell you they were wrongly suspected of being involved in the Boston LED Mooninite mess, and their self-declared mission statement is to be "dedicated to outfitting graffiti writers, pranksters, artists and protestors with open source tools for urban communication" do you have more of a clue? A documentary is due out soon on the work of these technology-mad urban artists, and the video shows a few snippets from it. It's pretty fascinating. We're tempted to strap some magnets, batteries and LEDs together and start decorating boring urban steel things with glowing throwies right away. The film premieres at MoMA in New York on May 4th.

Glow In The Dark Graffiti Makes Street Art Rave-tastic
Every aspiring Banksy has run into the same problem at some point in time—he or she has defaced public property beautifully, but no one wandering the area at night can see it. With the power of design brand Suck UK's glow in the dark Graffiti, however, this quandary will affect the noble street artist no more. Now every miscreant's scribbles will be admired by the general public, no matter what time it is. No word on pricing, but the product should be available soon. [Suck UK]

Digital Billboards
A well known 18 year old graffiti artist that goes by the name "Skullphone" has expanded his repertoire of vandalism to include 10 digital billboards around L.A. Earlier this week, onlookers were treated to Skullphones's calling card in between the normal ads running on the display. Nice work dude, let's hope that the police and the folks at ClearChannel appreciate art. Updated: Apparently, it wasn't a hack, but a two-day paid "art project."

"Couleur Sur l'Object" Graffiti Robot Turns Vandalism All-Electronic
Designer Stefan Rechsteiner has come up with the Couleur sur l'Objet concept as a modern way of applying "urban art" to walls in hard-to-reach places. Equipped with a can of spray paint, the little tyke would be like a badly-behaved roomba with a vacuum-suction mod to keep it in place. With its accompanying design software, you could presumaby use to it create large-scale murals on walls that would previously have required some serious (and conspicuous) ladder-work. Town councils everywhere had better invest in new grafitti-cleaning tech of their own— we suspect this won't remain a concept for too long. [Yanko Design] -

Four Crazy Radio Concepts to Celebrate National Inventor's Day
Today is National Inventor's Day, in honor of Thomas Edison, and Giz is going to celebrate it with some designs from the Work In Progress show by students at London's Royal College of Art. There are no less than four concept radios in the show, including this one by Mikael Silvanto, which melds a slide rule with an iPod-esque analog radio. The other three, including one which uses QR codes to hook up graffiti artists with pirate radio stations, are below. More »

Interactive Graffiti Billboard Lets You Be Simultaneously Tough and Geeky

Mark Ecko is designing digital citylights that will consist of a giant LCD screen and a Bluetooth interface that will allow passerby's to "spray graffiti" by accessing the screen via Bluetooth.

LED Throwies: Harmless Way to Make Your Mark
LED technology is so cheap that now you can throw it away. So the Graffiti Research Lab has dreamed up LED Throwies, colorful little LED markers you can make yourself. They require a 10mm LED and a button-size lithium battery and are taped together with a rare earth magnet for superior stickage. Each "Throwie" costs less than a buck if you buy the ingredients in bulk. All you need is a magnetic surface and you're ready for some LED throwing. This is said to be especially fun when you toss a bunch of them onto a metal surface that's high off the ground, out of reach of interlopers who might spoil the fun. Once they're stuck up there, they stay lit for up to two weeks. It's harmless graffiti that s actually kind of pretty. More »

GrafittiWriter Will Roll Up And Tag Your Neighborhood
Meet the product that results when students get too close to paint fumes: GraffitiWriter. This guerilla marketer's dream machine is a remote controled car loaded with cans of spray paint and dot-matrix printer parts inside for printing text anonymously from a remote location. GraffitiWriter packs a microcontroller that allows the robot to print out pixelated letters on the ground and spell out words and sentences in paint. GraffitiWriter also has a top speed of 9.3MPH. One application of this robot could be used over in Iraq today for spelling out messages on the ground in dangerous areas. Another would be for Rockstar Games to start spray painting its game logos all over NYC (wait, they already do that). More »

Spray On A Computer
Perhaps this will allow graffiti artists to become helpful in one way or another, but a spray-on computer is being developed at the Universities of Glasgow, Edinburgh, St Andrews and Strathclyde as a joint effort to create tiny specks that can peform computations and communicate somehow with applications. These "specks" as they're being called, will be embedded in objects and can detect things such as a problem in an aircraft wing or letting someone know when their medicine should be taken.
