This post is a bit outdated, but I wanted to get it up because
1. it was such a cool event, and
2. i finally got to meet another dance blogger, the amazingly talented Mr. Matt Murphy of Ranting Details.
The event at which we met was LVHRD’s second BiFold event entitled WLD STRT, with Brahma-supported Brazilian graffitti artist Speto, and James and Evan of the Graffiti Research Lab. Speto discussed his work and influences after creating the piece above in front of the audience.
GRL then gave a presentation of their work with lots of video, followed by live graffiti on the street below the venue…really.
GRL is the organization responsible for inventing LED throwies. They then graduated to “Night writing” (click that link for an awesome GRL video), using the same LED technology. This is the graffiti technique they used that night.
There was a video camera shooting the action outside, which was projected in the space for those who could not see out the window. GRL was also hooked up to audio, so everyone in the room felt like we were down on the street with him. He was successful. After that spectacle, all of the attendees were then given an LED throwie kit to make LED throwies of their own! Totally cool.
A YouTube video on LED throwies (originally done by GRL)…
The LEDs are taped to magnets, which makes it so that when you throw them onto something metal, they stick. I put them temporarily on my lapel. They are just so pretty… ugh how girly of me.
Speto (on the right) with our photographer friend who is also from Brazil, Leo Zacharias. Cathy…. have you seen any of Speto’s work? He is also from Sao Paulo 
The event left me feeling like I wanted to go paint something, and decorate everything with lights at the same time. How fun is that?!
