# Subway Parasite: Stealth Light Projector

This subway parasite project is quite old, it was invented by **Frédéric Eyl** at the University of the Arts in Berlin back in 2005 (long before about 2,200 people liked [Urban Art Core on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/urbanartcore.eu)), but it’s that great that I have to share it with you...

*Parasite is an independant projection-system that can be attached to subways and other trains with suction pads. Parasite projects ﬁlms inside a tunnel. These tunnels bear something mystic – most people usually have never made a step inside any of those tunnels. Confusing the routine of your train-travelling-journey, your habits and perception the projections parallel worlds – making use of parasite – allow you a glimpse into a diﬀerent world full of surrealist imagery.* ([thegreeneyl.com](http://www.thegreeneyl.com/parasite))

The entire parasite pack consists of a suitcase, a Mac Mini, a projector, suction pads, a mirror, power supply and a voltage converter, what makes it too expensive to do it yourself, but hey, it’s a brilliant idea and probably the [**Graffiti Research Lab**](/graffiti-research-lab-germany/) (GRL) guys are coming up with a cheaper version in near future - I would love it!
