Originally a graffiti crew founded in Staten Island around 1996, 1134nyc is formerly an art collective based in Brooklyn. Comprising collective of artists and designers including MINT&SERF, GOAL and HEILS.

They are known for their laser-cut stickers and stencils.

The stencils, which feature the number 1134 and a bomb, were mistaken for a terrorist threat in 2004. "Some theorized the '1134' referred to November 3, 2004, the day after Election Day, while others postulated it was a Europeanization of the date of the Madrid bombings on March 11, 2004. All thought that the “NYC” appearing in the bomb was a reference to a planned attack, communicated by the stenciled logo they spotted on the city streets." http://www.ephemeroi.com/unsleeping/arkv/002488.html

They have also contributed to Mass Appeal Magazine and a special edition of the book, "Autograf by Peter Sutherland" (ISBN 1-57687-203-3).
