check www.newformsfestival.com for full details…
in the spirit of NeoGraf Locations will be released one day prior to the performance…

laser tagging, projection throw-ups, photoshopped murals; the next
generation of open-source light-based writing, recoding the city bulb
by bulb.

The NeoGraf project will transform the city with nondestructive laser
graffiti technologies. Through the use of image and light projection,
graffiti artists will `paint’and tag buildings in realtime without
violating the property. In order to present the diversity and
evolution of graffiti, the project will work with different writers
and artists from around Vancouver, and invite the collaboration of
NomIg and Graffiti Research Lab to propagate this open-source technology.

NeoGraf Artists:
Fri, Feb 7th – Laser Tagging – Rhek & Virus
Sat, Feb 8th – Muralling – Neal Nolan
