The crew is known for developing multimedia projects where experimental real time video and performance installations see light of day (and night). being something of a tech head, Momo is also the founder of graffiti analysis – a project in which the motions of graffiti making is archived, analysed, and shared in an open database, ahead of his return to KL for INVSN Fringe Festival, JUICE caught up with Momo and associate Cee to find out more on multimedia graffiti.
