Facadeprinter: For When You Can't Be Bothered To Paint It Yourself

Facadeprinter: For When You Can't Be Bothered To Paint It Yourself

Let me axe you a question: do you like rad things? In the possible event that you do, I invite you to keep reading. If you answered no, keep reading anyway, you insufferable crank, and let’s turn that frown upside-down, yeah?

Utilizing a steady supply of paintballs and compressed air, the Facadeprinter is an art project by three German industrial designers with a serious need to leave their mark. An infrared sensor measures the distance to the wall, a USB key supplies the image to be fired, the software compensates for driving power and ‘ballistic distortion’, and the gun does the rest. I don’t know about you, but I’d say this qualifies as rad. For sure.

To be honest, there isn’t much more I can say that a video can’t. So how about I just poke your goddamn eyes out with one. How about two?

Though I never use this word, this is rad. I think I will paint my mother-in-law’s house with it.

I hate graffiti, even when it looks awesome. This just make it easier for any Tom, Dick, or Harry to be a “graffiti artists”. Seriously, is this something we really need? It is not rad but complete non-sense.
