Sweatshoppe – LED Paint Roller

Sweatshoppe – LED Paint Roller Interactive Light Art

Introduction

It’s really interesting to see, how a green LED paint roller paints a whole wall with video clips. Fake? No, it’s an interactive light projection technology!

I had already mentioned one thing or two about light art and its different uses by street artists.

This time I will show you a really interesting video, produced by Sweatshoppe, a viedo artists and multimedia performers collective. The developed the LED paint roller! It’s a paint roller, which actually doesn’t paint any paint. Instead it is made of green LEDs (light emitting diodes”) which work in conjunction with a camera next to a projector which is programmed with software that tracks its movements.

This great technology has the same base as the Laser-projections by the Graffiti Research Lab (GRL) and allows them to create amazing videos like this one.

By the way, the LED paint roller is a really nice idea!
