Using Projectors





The Graffiti Research Lab (GRL), kings of the light graffiti movement and unquestionably geeky graffiti artists, used a high powered projector, computer parts and a camera to “write” on the side of a building with a “mega laser”, which has a beam that can reach 5 miles away, for their “L.A.S.E.R.” project.


Having the idea of projecting result onto a large screen that way lots of people can view the images.

My Idea


I have the idea of having a interactive black wall and using the light cans people can draw onto the projected screens. They can choose colours, spray size etc.





Using technologies like the kinect and wii sensors

Sonodrome

Another company specialising into light graffiti


The Digital Graffiti Wall from Sonodrome is a fun and interactive way of creating digital artwork, be it graffiti, portraits, images, messages… It’s an opportunity to be creative with technology




Just like real graffiti, you use a spray can to create your designs. But the digital graffiti cans spray out light instead of paint, so the Digital Graffiti Wall is not only a lot less messy than real graffiti, but it also means your designs are available digitally. That means you can share them with friends and family, save them on your computer, or have them printed out onto canvass, T-shirts, stickers, or whatever you can think of!
The Digital Graffiti Wall is hired for lots of different occasions – from council run projects and corporate events, to weddings, individual parties and nightclubs. For special occasions or themed events we can provide logos, themed backgrounds, colour schemes and templates to suit your occasion. And if you want to have you artwork printed – we can take care of that for you too.
The Digital Graffiti Wall is available for hire and is hosted at your event by our CRB checked and fully insured team. Hire starts from £500. Digital Graffiti walls are also available for purchase from us.

Yr Wall

No more swapping paint cans to change colour or having to wear a face mask and gloves, and totally environmentally friendly, YrWall is accessible by anyone without any prior computer or graffiti skills.

YrWall is an interactive and inventive drawing tool for creating digital graffiti on a large screen using a modified spray paint can. Instead of paint, when the cap is pressed the can ‘sprays’ infra red light, which is tracked by a computer as it moves across the screen. The digital paint appears wherever the can is sprayed, just like spraying paint on a real wall. YrWall is available for short and long term hire and as permanent bespoke installations.
The YrWall system is also the basis of our bespoke custom presentation, meeting room and demonstration suites. At the heart of Lumacoustics is our creative and technical team who research, design and build bespoke solutions. From a single large screen controlled by gesture, digital pen or touch, to a complete space with AllWall projection to wow visitors.
Please view our YrWall micro-site or contact us for more information. 

Play with stencils, animated paint effects like swirls, stars, splats and drips, and paint with a full range of colours and fills. It’s like real graffiti without the mess.

YrWall digital graffiti wall has been a hit at events everywhere from Glastonbury Festival to New York City, and for clients ranging from small private parties, youth projects and schools to multinational organisations such as Google and Chevrolet.





Video Inspiration



I found this video very inspiring. I like the idea of someone touching, or in my case spraying light onto a screen instantly.

Glow Graffiti

low Graffiti or 'Light Spray' lets you paint and write with light and leave your creations glowing back at you! The Bright can-shaped UV torch super-charges the glow in the dark material that can be used again and again


Each kit contains a large sheet (70cm x 70cm) of glow in the dark material along with a UV (or blacklight) torch in the shape of a spray-paint can.

Shining the torch onto the material for only a moment will super-charge the glow in the dark material and make that area glow brightly. Moving the can closer to the material to make brighter smaller point and further away to make a wider gentler glow.

The glow slowly fades away over time leaving you with a blank canvas ready for a new design.

Hang the giant glow in the dark sheet on the wall or spread it on a table and use the Spray Paint torch to super-charge parts of the glow in the dark material, and make your messages glow back at you! The giant 70cm x 70cm glow in the dark 'canvas' is rechargable again and again from regular light and will glow brightly, when charged with the spray-paint shaped UV torch included.

Unlike a traditional can of spray-paint, this spray-can is actually a can-shaped bright UV torch that you use to charge the glow in the dark material in specific spots. over time, the glowing message will fade away leaving you with a blank canvas ready for a new creation.






Light Graffiti

After looking for some alternative for graffiti aerosols i came across this technique called light graffiti, its created by exposing the camera shutter for a period of time allowing someone with a light source to 'draw' a light shape within the time limit. The results show the whole pattern the light has taken. This allows you to create designs and piece of art.
