StreetWriter is a modified cargo van, capable of printing messages on to the pavement while driving.

The system is capable of rendering messages that are legible from tall buildings and low flying aircraft and is capable of rendering message that are several hundreds of feet in length. The project continues the research into Contestational Robotics gained from the earlier GraffitiWriter project.

The Institute for Applied Autonomy (IAA) was founded in 1998 as a technological research and development organization concerned with individual and collective self-determination. Our mission is to study the forces and structures which effect self-determination; to create cultural artifacts which address these forces; and to develop technologies which serve social and human needs.
