I’m a great fan and advocate for street art and the following clip blew my mind away. I had never seen anything like it and I must say nicely done to the multimedia dua SWEATSHOPPE who developed this new interactive technology that enables them to mix video with grafitti/tagging. This new platform, dubbed “video painting” (the kid had to get a name) basicly allows them to “paint’ video onto walls.

The paint roller does not use any sort of paint, it simply contains green LEDs. Software then tracks the color green and outputs the x y position which are sent to drawing commands and the strokes are textured with video. I suggest you simply check the embedded clip and see how they combine video projections with LED-lit paint rollers. Enjoy. Out.
