Shedding Light on the Public Domain



Above is a culture jam project that is a collaboration between AAA (Anti Advertising Agency) and the GRL (Graffiti Research Lab)

Here's a link to a video of the GRL's 2006 Summer Workshop which equipped those interested with the skills to make LED throwies and postal circuit stickers.

Also, Eyebeam OpenLab, a pioneer in open source creativity that provides those lucky enough to have a fellowship or affiliation with a new facility equipped with a laser cutter, 3D printer, workstations, web servers, and electronics workbenches.

Here are a few Projects at Eyebeam. Most interesting to me being the reBlog program which allows users to filter and republish off of RSS feeds, and the Wave Bubble, a self-tuning, wide-bandwidth portable WiFi/cellular/Bluetooth/GPS/etc. RF jammer. For those moments when someone elses culture is jamming in your ear (maybe not the kindest use of technology, admittedly, but a hilarious concept none the less).
