Seoul is changing everyday. Cheonggyecheon has bec.ome an example for a successful city development plan that has enabled people relax and take a break in front of 20-meter-high sculpture named 'Spring', an artwork by Claes Oldenburg. With the success of this artificial stream, the city of Seoul has developed a new plan to make Seoul a city of art With this in mind, we decided to contribute to this development plan in terms of media art by executing the city intervention project

PLAY \NITI-IIVIElJlt\!

Breaking out of white cube spaces, media art is heading out to the street! With the world famous artists like Aram Bartholl, G.R.L.(Graffiti Research Lab) and Igor Stromajer & Brane Zorman, Digital Playground 2008: Hack the City! I delivers messages on locations

HACI{ THE CITY!

The word 'HACK', in the context of this ex.hibition, is not the 'hacking' that one steals information by taking advantage of weakness in a certain system but more of cracking. In the encyclopedia, 'hacking' is defined as an act of finding a weak point in a computer network system, calling attention to it. and as a result strengthening it further. From this comprehensive idea, Digital Playground 2008: Hack the City!! has started a project, hack the city of Seoul.

The [WoW] project is a workshop and intervention in public space that uses computer playworlds as a means of calling attention to the changing ways people deal with privacy and identity in the public sphere. Every day, millions of people spend a great deal of time in online virtual worlds like 'World of Warcraft' They congregate there to go on adventures, solve puzzles and experiment with new digital artifacts

Many players remain in these worlds many hours a day Even when they're seated alone before their computer, they have lots of friends in the online world and share experiences with them Although these experiences are played out 'only' in the realm of virtuality, they nevertheless become memories in the particular person's overall wealth of experiences When 40 players operating according to a precisely organized division of labor being executed every weekend over the course of months 'play' out an adventure and finally vanquish their ultimate opponent, a gigantic monster holed up in a cave, the screenshot of all the members of this tightly-knit group constitutes a graphic document commemorating this important occasion in their lives The process of social bonding that occurs in such groups that frequently communicate only via messaging in the virtual realm ought not to be underestimated

Each player is represented by an individual avatar, which is given an unalterable name that by no means corresponds to the real name of the player but serves as a clear means of identification in the online world. This so-called nickname floats above the avatar's head and is constantly visible by all other players. There is no anonymity for the avatars themselves; each on-screen game figure is clearly labeled with its nickname. Nevertheless. changing roles via multiple accounts and avatars presents no problem to the users behind them.

The IWoWI project takes this mode of publicizing players' names that's typical of online 3D worlds and transfers it into the physical domain of everyday life. Participants of the IWoWIworkshop will be able to construct their own name out of cardboard and then parade around in public with it hovering above their head. What happens when a person's customary anonymity in the public sphere is obliterated by the principles operative in virtual worlds online)

Hello,

This work is called [WoW] which relates to 'World of Warcraft' which is a computer game, online game where a lot of people play against monsters and play against each other. So it's fantasy scenario and in this fantasy world online game, all the avatars have their names, their nick names floating above their head. And this project [WoWI translates this interface object of this names floating above the head Into real life. We had workshop with 12 people and everybody was building his own name in green letters and then afterwards we went to the city, had thiS group performance So here we see, for example, me walking on the street with my name. On one hand, it's translation from the game to real world, and on the other hand it's also themitizing this privacy topic how do we use let's say in the web people much more open with their privacy for example in social networks like leave all their information but in real life we are pretty strict about it. More rules and we would never walk in the street with our names. So it's also topic on work on this topic And It's the whole relation from digital space to everyday life I'm trying to approach here.

[LAS E.R. Tag[ IS an open-source WMD(Weapon of Mass Defacement) from the GRL(Grafiiti Research Lab), designed to enable graffiti writers, artists, activists, pranksters and ordinary citizens to communicate In the urban environment on the same scale as advertisers, corporations and the State.

GRL.(Graffitl Research Lab) is dedicated to outfllilng graffiti writers, artists, pranksters and protesters with open source 10015 lor urban communication. The goal of Ihe G.R.L. is to technologically empower individuals to creatively alter their surroundings on the scale of advertisers, corporations and the state in order to reclaim public space from both authoritarian and consumer culture. G.R.L. WMD(Weapon of Mass Defacement) are the result of numerous grants, awards and commissions from rogue governments, educational institutes and arts organizations. including an Award of Distinction from Ars Electronlca In 2006. They have shown their work in the streets on five continents and have been featured in the Museum of Modern Art In New York City, the Tate Modern in London and similar toilet stalls allover the world. Their first documentary film, G.RL • The Complete First Season, recently premiered at the Sundance Film Feslival and sold-out the MoMA They have been featured in or contributed to publications, books and other mass media, like the New York Times, Time Magazine, Time Asia. The Taipei Times, Excelsior, Time Out New York, the Village Voice, Rolling Stone, Esquire, Wired, II COrrlere Della Sera, EI PaiS, Street Renegades, The Tate's Street An, NBC, ABC, CNN, BBC, MTV, CNET, Dlgg.com, Boingboing.net and on the front page of Youtube. But more

importantly, thousands of ubiqUitous, clandestine agents have trained themselves, via the web. to use G.R.L. tools and techniques to create their own public interventions all over the world. G.R.L. splinter cells have formed in Amsterdam, Vienna, Barcelona, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Yokohama, Tijuana, Hong Kong, Taipei, Minneapolis, Australia and London. G.R.L. NYC is honored to be New York's representative to the US Department of Homeland Graffiti. The G.R.L. is a FAT (Free Art and Technology) production headquartered in the County of Kings, Brooklyn, NY. We are the G.R.L. and we approve of this message.

We intend to come to Seoul and create a series of public events, document them and create a 3-5 minutes 'G.R.L in Seoul' video to display in the gallery. While working on that video we can provide another video to display in the gallery until the 'G .R.L in Seoul' video IS completed

E This is the ILAS.E.R. Tagl system. We use It for artist activist and protesters primarily however it's free for everybody to download the software. The basic set up is there's a camera which is here and that's doing motion tracking so It' S trying to find a laser pointer and that's bfiD..g sent into the laptop which is then projecting the light back on scree n. So what you see on the building is just projected light from the projector but it's using a laser as an input form and this works well when you tend to work with graffiti writers or people that wanna make things on location .

J We've used IL A S.E R TagJ we initially created this system in Rotterdam with the coding design help of Theo Watson who's G R L. Amsterdam director and subsequently we 've used It allover the world We've used it in Hong Kong, we've used it in Korea now and we've used it in allover the Europe from Austria to London, we used it in the United States. allover Spain and we are about to start sorl of a world tour, we call it the antiAmerican tour where we are going everywhere where people hate the United States And we are starting in Seoul, Korea and Korea hates our country because of beef and we are going to Serbia next and they hate our country because we bombed hell out of them in 1999 and then we are going to Kosovo , I don't think ... they just hate

America for general reasons, then we are going to Sao Paolo, Brazil and they hate America because of the North American Free Trade America

We are gOing to be In Beijing where they hate America for obvious reasons and then we are finally going to go to Tokyo where I think they maybe they like America.

I don't know.

E James What's the goal of the I hate Am erica Tour)

I guess there really isn't any goal It's Just more opportunities to use the ILASE R Tag] system in bunch of provocative countries and give local artists, protestors and just normal citizens a chance to say exaclly what they feel about America but on the scale that normally only advertisers and governments have the opporlunltles to speak out.

E We talk about the system a lot as a free speech machine and we come to this place Sometimes it's us writing but ideally the other people writing So when we go to different cities usually it's the local people writing and hopefully they are saying something that they wouldn't be to say otherwise in that scale and a place that was invisible

W e used :

1 PC Laptop

A SUS A8JS - Core 2 Duo 1,83 Ghz 11 GB Ram 1 Nvideo Geforce Go 7300 256M B VGA and DVI ou t

1 Pansonic PTD5600U 5000 ANSI Lumens 1024 x768 DL P Projector

1 Watec 221S Security 1 Astrononmy Camera w ith manua l ir is zoom lens

1 Bogen magic arm and super clamp

1 Pinnacle PCTV USB capture card

1 60 mW Green Laser (super illegal in a lot of places and very dangerous) and loads of AAA batteries

Location:

Choose a building or wall that the laser shows up well on. If using a building make sure the lights aren't on as this will make the tracking of the laser beam harder (also it is not a good idea to point powerful lasers at a building with people in it)

Pick a spot far enough back that the projector can overshoot the building by a couple of feet on all sides.

Alignment and calibration :

-'I the building is vertically orientated and the prOjector can handle it, put the projector on its side so you are using the full image of the projection

Jix the projector in place and then lix the camera underneath the lens of the projector so that it is looking at the projection area. Allow the camera to see a little more than the projection area so that you can designate an area as a clear button.

_Make sure all the settings on the camera are set to manual· no auto exposure or gain control etc.

_Adjust the color balance of the camera so that it looks as natural as possible - make sure any lights in the shot don't look green as this will confuse the tracking sytem.

and the projector so that you have one large screen of 2048 X 768 resolution. If you have access to openGL and 3D preferences in the control panel, set all settings to performance

_Connect the camera to the usb capture card and the capture card to the Pc. You can use Amcap to make sure you can capture video okay.

Start the app and you should see something like the Image bellow , Follow the instructions In the diagram to align the camera to the projection surface.

Once the camera IS aligned to the prOjector hide the white alignment lilies on the prOjected image by pressing L Tum down the IriS of the camera to the pOint where the surface IS as dark as posslbJe but the laser still shows up strong

Settings:

_The settings for the app are saved in an xml file so once you have made your adjustments hit the S key to save your changes ,

Software setup :

_Set your resolution of your screen to 1024 X 768.

_Connect the projector to the PC and in your display control panel set the display mode to horizontal span. This should span the Desktop across the laptop screen

_The up and down arrows on your keyboard will run through the list of settings and the left and right arrows can adjust the values.

_The first settings you will want to adjust is the four at the bottom· which define the color tracking of the laser.

NOTES

Once everyth i ng i s setup be very careful not to bump either projector or camera as even a move of a 1mm wil l be enough to mess the alignment .

_ The settings are saved in settings xml file - if you want to back up your settings for a location just zip the file and rename it.

If you are pushed for framerate - try overclocking your graphics w ith hacked dr ivers from laptopvide02go, you will notice qu ite a difference!

Press h to hide all gui except the projected image, this can also g ive you a bump in the framerate too

Hue Point Should be the value of green that the camera sees the laser as Hue Thresh How wide a range from the hue point It should conSider.

_Sat Thresh The minimum amount of saturation.

_Value Thresh The minimum bnghtness

Brush Width clears the Image. Size of brush

_Drips Freq How many drips you want - lower is more

Here is an exp l anation of the rest of the settings : _Slide Slides the screen over so you can see what is being projected

_ Verticle Mode If the projedor IS being used on its side. Use Blobs Should stay on, blob tracking ended up being more reliable than motion difference, Motion Diff Don't touch Use Camera

_Drips Mode

Slant Brush Clear Zone

Toggle between using the live camera and an Included test video

When on, small drips of paint will descend from the letter forms, Siowely fades the image over time - alternative 10 clear button

Toggles chisel brush and fatcap mode

Use an area of the image as a clear zone, if the laser is detected there It

_Activity Thresh ThiS determines the time before starting a new line, the background screen should flash red whenever a new line begins.

Min Blob Size The smaller this value the more

_Jump Dist sensitive to noise it will be but also the smoother the line motion. The max distance to draw a line between two captured points, any distance greater means it starts a new line.

_Line Resolution How many points to Interpolated a

Clear X Clear Y Clear Thresh line with, higher number means smoother line but uses more cpu. Adjust x position of clear area. Same for y

Lower means a more sensitive clear area, higher less sensitive - adjust so that only laser point clears Image.

B We are [Ballettikka Internettikka] team. Igor Stromaler and Brane Zorman

I And we are doing this project since 2001 We are invading different places like Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow La Scala in Milan (ity Hall in Hong Kong and Lippo ( entre in Hong Kong and other places each year one or two places and this year we did it in Seoul Korea

So actually today in the morning at 6 a.m. we went to the construction site near the central stadium in Seoul and we went inside illegally and we grouted the robot we oerformed robotic funeral we have put the robot into the cement and it's going to stay in there in foundation of this bUilding forever.

B And the robot is equipped with the GPS system which will be broadcasted, let's say couple of days time from now, from the date when we went to the cement to the concrete and when the GPS system dies we will declare the robot finally died as we ll.

This was [Ballettlkka Internettikka Intermenttikka] Seoul 2008.
