LED technology on the streets

 sweatshoppe has taken 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 of a 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 projector which is programmed with software that tracks its movements. the software then outputs the X-Y position of the roller projecting a textured video image of the strokes the duo are drawing on a wall. this interactive technology allows them to explore the relationship between video, mark making and architecture.

Its about using the road as a canvas

Spectators have always chalked messages of support along the Tour de France route - how about using the web to bring the roads of Franceto everyone and spread messages of hope in the fight against cancer?

A unique project to support Nike's Livestrong campaign which saw messages of hope in the fight against cancer chalked along the Tour de France route was done by Wieden+Kennedy Portland and development partners DeepLocal and Standard Robot, Nike created a giant robotic writing tool.

Over the course of the 15-day event Chalkbot (chalk writing machine) picked up more than 4,000 followers on Twitter and received more than 36,000 texts and twitter messages!
