Evan Roth and James Powderly (Graffiti Research Lab, New York) are dedicated to outfitting street artists with open source technologies for urban communication. GRL's goal is to technologically empower individuals to creatively alter and reclaim their surroundings from unchecked development and corporate visual culture.
In March 2008, GRL (NY) met fifteen Australian artists, collaborators & facilitators, chosen to participate in the Adelaide Festival Masterclass through a public application process. From laser-tagging, LED throwies and general mayhem, blogger-in-residence, Lachlann Telow Stuart, kept track of processes, outcomes, observations and documentation via ANAT's website, www.anat.org.au/grl.

The Graffiti Research Lab masterclass is a part of Carclew Youth Arts Breeding Ground Industry Development program. This program invites artists of national or international significance to ignite, inspire, provoke and challenge local practitioners and audiences to profile innovation and stimulate critical debate.
The Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT) provided places in the masterclass for five national participants as part of their annual emerging technology labs program. The labs are designed to create environments for inspiration, enrichment, engagement, playful exploration and collaboration across disciplines and hybrid practices.
Presented by Carclew Youth Arts in association with the Adelaide Bank Festival of Arts and the Australian Network for Art and Technology. The Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body has assisted this project.
