Evan Roth is an artist and researcher whose work focuses on technology, tools of empowerment, open source and popular culture. His notable projects include L.A.S.E.R. Tag and LED Throwies (with Graffiti Research Lab), White Glove Tracking, Explicit Content Only and Graffiti Analysis. Roth is co-founder of the Graffiti Research Lab and the Free Art & Technology Lab (F.A.T. Lab), a web based, open source research and development lab. In 2009, two of Roth's projects (Graffiti Taxonomy and EyeWriter (a collaborative project)) were selected as the British Design Museum's Designs of the Year. Roth has exhibited widely in the Americas, Europe and Asia, including the Sundance Film Festival, the MoMA (NYC), the Tate (London), the Fondation Cartier (Paris) and the front page of YouTube. From experimenting with crowd sourcing to creating art with airport security and collaborating with Jay-Z on the first open source rap video, Roth's work explores the overlap between free culture and popular culture. To find Roth's work online, just google "bad ass mother fucker".

For the first couple years we were both posting work here and experimenting with writing code, editing video, and 3D rendering. Max is currently an architect living out west, and while he is designing soccer stadiums in exotic foreign cities I am still here playing around on the Internet. I have archived his work on the site below, personal favorites include Metro, Typocactive, and Dook. For a 45 second overview of these first two collaborative years of ni9e click here.
