[Lecture] Who is GRL? by GRL

Evan Roth and James Powderly of Graffiti Research Lab are appearing in Kyoto for the first time. This presentation will answer the questions like “Who is GRL anyway?” “Are they really interesting???” They will talk about the background of how the GRL started, and about heir past and present projects, including their latest project, “Eyewriter.” In Japan, where focus has been more on GRL's technology related aspects, this presentation hopes to spotlight their multi-layered concepts that pose many important issues we face today.

[Workshop] Kyoto Protocol Hacking by GRL

Every city has a protocol, a standard way of doing business: a system made up of infrastructure and rules and regulations established by popular consensus in order to keep the city operating at maximum efficiency.  But the current protocols for the cities we live in -- London, Hong Kong, New York and right here in Kyoto -- have been established by corporations, advertisers and the authorities without our mandate, without the voice of the people, the little guys, the worthless vermin like you and me. We have all spent so much time worrying about creating a protocol for the planetary environment in order to regulate invisible gases in the atmosphere that we have forgotten to get angry about the crimes committed against us right here, right before our eyes. Our cities have been taken over by advertisers, our public and common spaces have been privatized and we have been regulated out of everywhere else by the apparatus of the state.

Join the Graffiti Research Lab for a 5-day workshop in how to create our own DIY Kyoto Protocol for the urban environment. We will research the city of Kyoto itself, its rules about public space and it's physical infrastructure. We will work together to conceive, develop and employ simple tools that allow us to communicate on the same scale as the corporations and the state . Workshop participants will research local interests, develop their own communication concepts, build their own tools (with the help of the GRL), use them in public space and document this practice for online publication. GRL tools currently in development to support the workshop includes projection software for images, video and motion graphics, homemade LED signage and other ad-busting technologies. We will spend five days learning about and creating new tools for urban communication in the hopes of helping to slow-down not only “Global Warming” but also “Global Boring”. Come join the Graffiti Research Lab, GRL Kyoto and the Hanare Project for a five day action summit to create change in Kyoto and establish a new people-centered protocol through local action and DIY invention.

Join GRL and be a part of the foundational moment of GRL Kyoto . This will be a perfect opportunity to make a debut as a participant in our project. We welcome especially those who have been heavily affected by the economic recession, have no money left for more consumption, and who have political messages that were ignored in the last Japanese election.

[Workshop] Jitensyashin

Jitensyashin is, in a nutshell, a photo scavenger hunt on bicycles. It is also a chance to explore the landscape around you with a team and a mission, to document what you've found and bring it back for everyone to see. Movement via bicycle allows you to go from place to place, changing scenery quickly, exploring small alleys, and maintaining a connectedness to the world around you. We will have a photo presentation and discussion following main activity. Please bring your bicycle (any kind is ok!) and a digital camera or cell phone camera. If you choose to use a digital camera, please be sure you come with an empty memory card to use for the game.

〈Profile：May-Z 〉
May-Z is a messenger in Osaka by day. By night she searches for ways to share the aesthetic of the urban landscape as experienced on a bicycle. By organizing the photo-scavenger hunt on bikes, otherwise known as "Jitensyashin", she hopes to collaboratively capture that experience.

[Lecture] The Subtlety of Revolution by Jun Hirose

This year is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Sadao Yamanaka, who died at the age of 28 from a disease he contracted at the front in WWII. During the final six years of his life, he explored the quality of "subtlety" through the 26 films he directed. While film in general has a tendency to be rather brazen, Yamanaka tried to keep film “subtle” because revolution is a subtle attitude, and subtlety is always revolutionary. We can also argue that GRL's use of laser beams and LED lights is a way to escape from the return of brazenness. Starting a creative movement should not be about focusing on how to stand out from others, but on how to break down our voices and ideas and merge them into everyday objects and situations. The brazenness of our society has not been altered much between the 1930's, when Yamanaka was directing his films, and today, when GRL projects graffiti using light beams. Regardless of the 70 year gap, both artists utilize light's weightlessness as a tool to revolutionize through subtlety.

〈Profile：Jun Hirose〉
Jun Hirose was born in 1971 in Tokyo. He left the doctoral course in the department of visual and audio at University of Paris III (Université de la Sorbonne Nouvelle). Hirose is a member of the French cinema critique magazine, Vertigo. His past and upcoming books include Philosophie de la bonne chère (2005), Le Plus Petit Circuit de la lutte (2006), Asambleas en lucha (2009), Du ciné-capital(2009). Hirose's translation works are Paolo Virno’s Grammatica della moltitudine (2004), Toni Negri's Arte e Multitudo (2004), and Goodbye Mr. Socialism (2008). He currently teaches in the faculty of Economics at Ryukoku University in Kyoto.

[Lecture] GRL x contact Gonzo x Mizuki Endo

This lecture will mainly focus on the meaning of alternative attitudes and practices in our society today. Each of the guests happen to make a living in “art world”, but the implications of their activities, such as inventing free technological tools accessible to the public, improvising aesthetic violence in the streets, and thinking of the power of creativity in a barely viable community, go far beyond the closed “art world.” The alternative attitudes and practices discussed in the lecture should not be just considered as concepts or art pieces, but as attempts to change society while maintaining close relationships with everyday life. Challenge to and escape from the old and boring commodity based economic model of the 20th Century and to direct society towards something new can only be successful through incorporating more creative minds into everyday lifestyles. With this, society would flourish with ideas that are radical, silly, new, beautiful and exciting. It would eventually lead to the realization of life based on smaller, network based production systems. A model of the production of goods and the social that puts creative energy and networks of friends into the service of use value would not produce too much. This mode of activity encourages people to combine brain and body work. In such a society collaboration would become ordinary and everyday, and skills would be widely shared and practiced.

〈Profile：contact Gonzo 〉
In 2006, Masaru Kakio and Yuya Tsukahara solemnly started punching each other at Ogimachi Park, Osaka, and that's when contact Gonzo was accidentally born. There is a mountain behind the park. “contact Gonzo” is a collectiveness, a name for the method, and low-fi spark. In spite of their consciousness being dim, contact Gonzo advocates “philosophy of pain and contact improvisation,” and builds a pastoral and noble method. They later invented “the first man narrative,” taking pictures of each other's fierce actions while doing contact Gonzo. This taking of numerous pictures during the performance has become Gonzo's signature style. They have performed and documented in the atomic shelter in Helsinki, in forest life in the Arctic Circle, in a student cafe in Nanjing, a Seoul station, and on a gigantic pier in Okinawa. In 2007, Keigo Mikajiri joined the group. When Masaru Kakio went back to the mountain in 2008, Itaru Kato joined the group. In 2009, Kyanai also joined.

He is currently the director of ARCUS Project, the art center with international artist-in-residence program in Ibaraki, Japan, and a curator of Art and Media Festival Yokohama (CREAM) in Nov. 2009.
