Driving around L.A., I get a kick out of all the street art on high ad billboards. “Heavens”, are what they’re referred to as in graffiti slang. I can’t seem to figure out how these dare-devils get up on some of the most random places? Once, I’ve seen some detailed spray paintings underneath a freeway underpass, that got me to wondering if people can really fly?!
Stefan Rechsteiner, designed an automated robot mysteriously named “Couleur sur l’Objet”, built to assist graffiti artists’ on their ongoing quest to get up on those hard to reach places, and virgin spots that are yet to be “blasted” on.
“Couleur sur l’Objet” is in short a wall climbing printer, based on the principle of the vortex-robots that are able to climb walls with the help of suction. These robots are combined with a color application device and a controlling software that allows to print designs on large walls. - Stefan Rechsteiner
If it simply an aid for quick meaningless get ups,? Sorry, I am not a fan of “Ameture Hour”, but if it has the abilities to assist an artist on detailed “Wild Style” productions , then I say “Genius”!
