E-Z Graffiti With txtBOMBER

If you’re inspired by Banksy and hankering for a little bit of guerrilla street art of your own but you lack the skills for anything other than a stick figure and indecipherable scribbles, the txtBOMBER might be what you need to get started. This prototype gadget does the printing for you. All you have to do is input the text you want, start moving the txtBOMBER over a flat surface, and keep an eye out for the cops.

The battery powered “printer” uses seven pens, two wheels, and an internal computer to apply your personal slogan or treatise of choice as your roll it along. You can see the txtBOMBER in action in a video after the break.

This project is the brain child of digital artist Felix Vorreiter based in Karisruhe, Germany.

I’m a fan of smart public art, so if this or other projects like it allow for more of that on my streets, I’m all for it. Of course, if it makes it easier for idiots to profess their love for their fling of the week on my condo, I’m less intrigued.
