The Institute for Applied Autonomy (IAA) is an anonymous collective of artists, engineers, and theorists dedicated to individual and collective self-determination.
Since its founding in 1998, the IAA has exhibited and lectured widely in the United States and Europe, and has been the recipient of several awards, including an award of distinction in interactive art at Prix Ars Electronica 2000.
Past IAA projects include Little Brother, a propaganda robot intended to replace human activists; GraffitiWriter, a small graffiti-writing robot; and StreetWriter, a large graffiti-writing robot housed in an extended-body cargo van.

 Interview with the Institute for Applied Autonomy
I still have to find any trace of ungainliness when it comes to The Institute for Applied Autonomy.
The anonymous activist group believes in the importance of disseminating knowledge, encourages autonomy, and develops methods of self-determination through artistic expression and application of military-like technology to the topics of criminal mischief, decentralized systems and individual autonomy.
You might have read or seen one of their pamphlet-distributing or spray painting robots or participated to the protests during the 2004 US presidential campaign, by using their TXTmob system.

The Institute for Applied Autonomy (IAA) was founded in 1998 as technological and development organisation concerned with individual and collective self-determination.
The IAA became famous with projects of robotics such as Little Brother or Graffiti Writer, that invert the traditional connection between research and centers of power.
One of Institute for Applied Autonomy's most recent projects is iSee, a web-based and wireless application based on a real time updated database that allows any user to program urban routes with the smallest exposition to surveillance cameras in New York.

The Institute for Applied Autonomy (IAA) was founded in 1998 as an anonymous collective of artists, activsts, and engineers united by the cause of individual and collective self-determination.The group's stated mission is to extend the autonomy of human activists in the performance of real-world, public acts of dissent.
IAA research has thus far focused on access to public space and the rise of the surveillance society.
Projects to date include robots that spraypaint graffiti and distribute subversive literature, mobile-device software that enables users to avoid CCTV surveillance cameras, and cell phone text messaging services that allow activists to monitor police action during political demonstrations.

 Robotprotest
The IAA takes technologies that have been developed to serve corporate, institutional and military interests and uses them to challenge and subvert those interests.
IAA's Web site declares that the robot is intended to "bypass the social conditioning that inhibits activists' ability to distribute propaganda by capitalizing on the aesthetics of cuteness." The designers even gave the robot a childlike voice.
The IAA is sticking its neck out when it deploys its protesting robots, since their actions leave their expensive electronics at risk of seizure.

The anonymous members of Institute for Applied Autonomy assemble their exhibit, which includes a critique of hyper-surveillance in the U.S. Artists, protesters and grassroots appropriators descend on the Contemporary Arts Center Saturday, with scathing and humorous critiques of corporate irresponsibility, a government bent on global domination and a population unconcerned with constant surveillance.
The Institute for Applied Autonomy uses their technical expertise for good, employing vast intellectual and ideological impetus, technology, resources and cunning techniques to distribute subversive messages.
IAA is also famous for the distribution of various protest technologies, including TXTmob, which linked protesters through broadcast cell-phone text messages at the campaign conventions over the summer and last month's inauguration.

Rather, it was a troupe of techno-warriors from the Institute for Applied Autonomy (IAA) scouting and mapping the locations of surveillance cameras.
The IAA is also working on a wireless application for PDAs that will let privacy activists report newly discovered cameras directly to the database.
With the overwhelming quantity and demand for information, organizations are starting to think about the nature of their business's institutional knowledge, content and information and its increased burden on today's organization to find an effective means of collection and distribution.

But in their own, quiet way, the robots being designed by the Institute for Applied Autonomy are just as dangerous.
The basic operating principle behind everything I.A.A. does is something they call "Contestational Robotics." As their operative explained it to me, it’s a response to a general trend in the history of technology.
Another facet of GraffitiWriter’s program of democratic vandalism is something they call "Rogues Gallery"–in which I.A.A. members bring the robot to a public place–a park, a street, wherever–and invite passersby to compose and program their own messages, then instruct the robot to spraypaint these.

This could have been due to the fact that there seemed to be a subtle rift between those looking for more radical change (nT, Natalie Jeremijenko, Tad Hirsch (for the Institute of Applied Autonomy) and those that were working in a more standard "free speech" left/Democrat hegemonic protest standpoint (Yury Gitman, Joshua Kinberg).
This criticism is not meant to pick on Yury alone (or specifically), this can equally be applied to several of the projects presented, it just slipped in all zen like here.
Tad Hirsch presented on behalf of the The Institute of Applied Autonomy specificly talking about the implementation of TxtMob at the RNC.

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Institute for Applied Autonomy (IAA) (American) will be debuting their new educational filmstrip, Little Brother Gets Busted, a photo-illustrated journey starring the robot Little Brother.
The film takes the audience through the do’s and don’ts of living with the American ‘War on Drugs.’ Intended as a public service to Dutch tourists planning a visit to the United States, this work takes a cynical jab at compulsive awareness and exploits the extensive verbiage that defines the American drug vernacular.
Carretón has lectured at the Art and Technology Foundation in Madrid, The Göthe Institute in Buenos Aires, The Akademie der Künste in Berlin, and the Universities of Valencia, Amsterdam and Buenos Aires.

The Austrian Web Resistance Awards 2000 were created when the culture-jamming Institute for Applied Autonomy gave away its Arts Electronica prize money in protest against Austria's Jorg Haider and his Freedom Party's views about the electronic arts festival (not to mention contemporary art).
During a live TV ceremony, the Institute transferred the award to the progressive Public Netbase Group, in support of the Austrian resistance movement.
Commissioned by InSITE2000, a binational project of 27 cultural institutions in the United States and Mexico, the series is shot in a variety of formats: video from surveillance cameras, miniature "stealth" cameras and infrared thermal imaging systems, as well as 16mm film.
