Video, mark making and architecture installation
“4spots, the landing extras”
Concept of this installation: Video Painting
Sweatshoppe has taken the 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.
How it works:
· The software controlling the video was written in Max.
· The paint roller does not use any sort of paint, it simply contains
green LEDs.
green LEDs.
· The software tracks the color green and outputs the x and y
position which are sent to drawing commands and the strokes are
textured with video.

· Software: in the programming environment Max/MSP/Jitter that uses computer vision algorithms to track a paint roller lit with LEDs and project video wherever the user strokes to create the illusion that video is being applied to a surface.
Critical Comments :
· I found that this is a creative installation art.
· Whatever rolls through the paint roller output the video result because the paint roller contains green LEDs.
· It is interactive because user could try the paint roller and strokes around the area to create the illusion that video is being applied.
· It is interesting because the output result is in video type and use multiple colors.
