Hybrid Visuals

The WiiGo is a hightech digital spraycan that paints the walls with light.

The principle is simple. An old spraycan registers the movements of the user with a computer. This information is passed on to a beamer, resulting in a streak of light where you are ‘spraying’. This way anybody can make a huge piece, without causing any actual ‘damage’.

Of course it’s a great installation to have at an urban themed event, but we find that everybody enjoys playing with it.  Hiphoppers draw their tag, teenagers write loveletters, parents play pictionairy and little kids just love the light on the wall.

The interface, which is fully controlled by the can, offers choice in colours and cap size. The addition of characteristic sounds such as air pressure release when the cap is pressed and the ball rattling when the can is shook make for a fully immersive acoustic and visual experience.

All tags and throwups can be stored automatically and shown in a VJ set.

The WiiGo spraycan was the opening act for the Noisivision street art festival.
