robo-rainbow

There is nothing about this that I don’t like.

UPDATE — a little searching yields this photoset by photographer Donna Zoll from a museum show in San Diego. You can see closeups of the rig and get a little better idea of how it works. I love the first one — reminds me of a Dreamcatcher, which works really well with the whole rainbow theme. Cosmic.

  1. I love this! Imagine driving to work one morning and finding that every here and there some weirdo/genius has changed the dull grey of a factory wall or a semi-abandoned block to a colorful rainbow. Way to cheer up some people, dude!

  8. Pretty or uplifting or whatever… this is still vandalism (which the author acknowledges in the beginning of the video). Yes, I agree it is better than some gang tag or foul language, but it’s still breaking the law.

    Some removable alternative would have been better imo, liquid-chalk perhaps…
