Graffiti Research Lab, founded by Evan Roth and James Powderly during their fellowships at the Eyebeam OpenLab, is an art group dedicated to outfitting graffiti writers, artists and protesters with open source technologies for urban communication. The members of the group experiment in a lab and in the field to develop and test a range of experimental technologies. They document those efforts with video documentation and DIY instructions for each project and make it available for everybody.

Graffiti Research Lab – Houston, hopes to continue & extend the ideas  of sharing open source technologies  in Houston, TX as a way to outfitt graffiti writers, activist and artist. The local cell of Graffiti Research Lab was founded by Kirk Moreno.
