GRL Vs Myron

The GRL is a group of universal graffiti artists that are incorporating new technologies to further the practice of graffiti. These artists are not only changing the way we look at graffiti but also creating a sense of community through the Internet. They have events set up with dates and times for you to be able to participate in. They also display how-to videos that enable you to understand and recreate your own art using their methods.

I think GRL really can relate to all readings we've done this semester. If I were to focus on one in particular it would be Myron Krueger-video place. Myron Kruegerd's reminds me of GRL's Laser writings on public buildings. Even though Myron's project has somewhat of interaction between the person and the computer GRL parallels the way they interact with public surroundings.

Myron's project for me becomes problematic when I start to think of how available this technology is to the public. The availability factor can also apply to GRL. When it comes to technology it definitely isn't about cost effectiveness. I will say GRL seems to be making more of an effort to make their methods available to the public.

My works in relation to the works I've just mentioned are not that clear as far as content. It has how ever opened me up to new possibilities and directions for my work. There is a direct connection in the use of the hand between all three works but what interests me most is how in GRL and videoplace are in real time, which focuses on my own interests in my work.
