Graffiti Research Lab (USA)
The Graffiti Research Lab is dedicated to outfitting graffiti writers, artists, pranksters and protesters with open source tools for urban communication. The goal of the G.R.L. is to technologically empower individuals to creatively alter their surroundings on the scale of advertisers and the authorities and to reclaim public spaces from commercial culture. Thousands of ubiquitous, clandestine agents have been trained, via the web, to use GRL tools and techniques to create their own public interventions all over the world. Graffiti Research Lab splinter cells have begun to form in locations such as Vienna, Los Angeles, Toronto, Barcelona, Taipei and Mexico City.
塗鴉研究實驗室（又名GRL）專責為塗鴉者、藝術家、「整蠱專家」及示威者提供開源工具以進行城市交流。GRL的目標就是要在技術上賦予每個人創造性的力量對其周圍環境作改變，以廣告商及當局的規模從商業文化中重新佔據公共空間。數以千計、無所不在的秘密專員已透過互聯網學會了使用GRL的工具和技術，於世界各地建立自己的公共干預。GRL的分支已開始在不同地方形成，如維也納、洛杉磯、多倫多、巴賽隆拿、台北和墨西哥城。
