Phase III – Stealth Is.

EyeWriter is an ongoing research project from Graffiti Research Lab, a collective of artists, urban pranksters and hackers who stage multimedia interventions around the world. Many of them were among Tempt’s closest friends, which made his diagnosis as much a devastation as it did an inspiration to intervene through innovation. So they mounted a small camera onto a pair of clunky eyeglass frames, and wired it so that the camera captures the pupil of Quan’s right eye, inputting it as it glides over a palette of colors and effects. To select a tool or color, he “clicks” by holding his gaze over it for four seconds He “clicks” by pausing his gaze for four seconds over the desired tool, then draws by moving his gaze around the canvas screen. Rather than saving the artwork in traditional JPG or GIF image formats, which have a number of limitations, output is saved in a GML format – Graffiti Markup Language, a new open-source format developed specifically for EyeWriter. Tempt then uploads his work to a server, from which his supporters have pulled it wirelessly to digitally project Tempt One “eyetags” onto everything from high rises in Los Angeles to Tokyo’s city halls to the riverbanks of Vienna.

They also smashed eight cars, including four belonging to the City of Oakland
