Artist, graffiti analyst and bad ass mother fucker fi5e sends word of a new geek graffiti project developed deep in an underground laboratory on 21st St:

LED Throwies are an inexpensive way to add color to any ferromagnetic surface in your neighborhood. A Throwie consists of a lithium battery, a 10mm diffused LED and a rare-earth magnet taped together. Throw it up high and in quantity to impress your friends and city officials.

Check the video for footage of a few dozen people plastering a Chelsea building with hundreds of electric lights, then head over to Instructables for a complete step-by-step guide to making your own, for under $1.00 apiece.
