sweatshoppe: video painting
previously we wrote an article on french design aissa logerot who developed 'halo' an
LED light spray. now, sweatshoppe has taken this LED technology to the streets on a different level. The collective made up of video artist bruno levy and blake shaw who are also multimedia performers,use video mapping techniques as a means of video painting onto walls through the use ofa paint roller. The only catch is, the paint roller doesn't actually paint anything onto the wall.instead it is made from green LEDs which work in conjunction with a camera next to a projectorwhich is programmed with software that tracks its movements. the software then outputsthe X-Y position of the roller projecting a textured video image of the strokes the duo aredrawing on a wall. this interactive technology allows them to explore the relationship between video,mark making and architecture.
