i’m so happy this is the top comment. i’m someone who found the GRL as… a middle schooler and boy was it the coolest thing i’ve ever seen at the time
I love this project! I saw this back in the day and it inspired me to build this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x034jVB1avs I hacked together some game jam games with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd7A6TEthPQ Alexis Ohanian commented on my video, which was awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF_OCvjq3ps I eventually built a laser drawing system too. I used a 532 nanometer optical filter taped to a webcam…
that is so fun! I live in a huge building with a wall that would be perfect for this. what kind of hardware do you run?

I was there the night GRL got a rig working, f&m piling gear onto the bicycle cart, and trundling it around Vienna, looking for apt spots to beam things. It appealed to my seedbombing instincts immensely, of course, and is such an obvious idea all things considered.
Apropos civic protest and public art throwing, there is nothing greater than being able to draw rude things on the faces of buildings, or indeed - massive art. It is an immensely rewarding experience - the edifice becomes the canvas.
They moved on to bigger things, alas f passed away too fast, and I always wondered why we don't see more GRL out there, in the streets.
Another great 'public putting art in places' activity, incidentally born around the same scene (metalab), is the artificial museum:
.. a public collection of augmented reality models deposited in strategic locations. I've got one in there somewhere ...
