His pseudonym is a reference to his love of science fiction. 3.14 here stands for Pi, which is also an abbreviation for Public Image. His English poetic spells have not gone unnoticed and he has given interviews to various media. In addition to his graffiti activities, Laser 3.14 is an exhibiting artist and cartoonist.
