Last weekend GRL Berlin ran a wonderful LED-Throwie workshop at CYNETART festival in Dresden. Around 20 motivated participants joined in to make red, green, blue and yellow LED-Throwies – oh yes, no messing around there with colors – each color had its own table! One dark underpass at the Neustadt neighborhood got lucky to be picked as the new home of 700 shining Throwies.
Quite some time ago but still here come two videos featruing (amongst others) our freezingly cold but extremly fun Mud-Thrwowie action for the CTM Opening weekend:

GRL Germany is starting 2013 with a new make of the GRL-Classic LED-Throwie.
We are proudly introducing the LED-Mud-Throwie! LED-Throwies are no longer restricted to ferromagnetic structures but can now even conquer any concrete, marble or stone surfaces…
Come along and try this brand new type of Throwie: Throw it at the opening weekend of Club Transmediale and get your hands dirty for the “Illuminations of Wedding” show at SUPERMARKT.

We’ve just returned, well tanned (well, burnt in one case), from Vigo, Spain, where we were fortunate enough to be invited to do two installations of blitzTag and LED Throwies at the Vigo Transforma Festival.
Hey there! Four members of GRL Germany are currently residing in Vigo, Spain. We are invited here by the Festival Vigo Transforma to create a 1000 LED Throwie intervention and present blitzTag on Friday und Saturday evening. We arrived yesterday. Here some pics to illustrate our trip:
Hot on the tail of our LED Throwie action at Kottbusser Tor, and because of the roughly 18,000,000 comments on Heise.de about what we were going to do about the batteries, we built a Throwie Removal Unit (Instructable >> here < <)… an extension painters pole with a large metal plate… and took ’em all down… at least, the 66 out of 350+ that were still there (?!??!??! … our guess is pigeons blinging out their nests… but if anyone has other ideas or facts, we’re interested).
yeah yeah… you’ve probably already seen it here and/or here … but we thought we’d show some more !!!
big up’s to Street Lab, SID, the rest of the GRL Germany crew, all our workshop participants, and of course all the little kids that straight up mobbed us and helped us put up 350+ throwies !!
