summary
Captures graffiti motion with webcams then exports extruded paths to STL for 3D printing and bronze casting, turning seven second tags into durable sculptures; prints political text onto postal labels and makes a viral weekend video; distributes LED “throwies” and projects with simple computer vision to get messages onto buildings; harvests a one gigabyte browser cache in two week chunks to make portraits and a SQLite timeline that becomes a book about a birth; runs a van that routes callers to a rooftop loudspeaker and tests a zip tie tactic on airplane seats.
