PixelRoller

[DeSmurfen125]

Hahaha I found it on the Apparatjik site!! :D:D

[raptorbsp]

This is fake. There is something behind that sheet...

[Bcf720]

probably like a celeb's house

[heyawhaw]

hahaha! Is this some kind of Aprils fools gadget? Pixel painter my ass!

The paint some green goo on there like a GreenScreen and use that as a mask or whatever. C'mon ... pixelpainter XD

[PHILOSYNC]

It's like magic. :D Awesome.

[shayhovell]

same pixel idea-Hey i did mona lisa for the upcoming post it note contest- 40 hours and 12,000 post it notes- check it out and please vote!!Thanks

[yelnilapple]

So is can i buy this at walmart?

[youngsta9222]

awesome dude.......narly ;O!!!!!!!!!!!1

[imissucopperx07x]

ok @ 1st i didnt get it but then at the end that was so cool

[markyboy342]

If you connected a cable to a laptop and put the other end, say, up your ass, and started speaking in 1s and 0s, do you think people would believe you were being controlled by the laptop?

[liggiea2k7]

i dont understand?

[Youshless]

i think the basics of this are: Plug laptop into a roller which process's the data and allows paint only to be distributed according to the image on the laptop. Basically a manual printer!

The program they used will probably have coordinates (if you listen carefully, one time the guy at the laptop says"dont go to far down") the coordinates allow the pixels of the image to be distributed evenly in the area and viuala! lol hope this helped

[piperpiper15]

sweet

[MarlonAguirre]

So the manual printing is not very accurate?

If so, this one is kick ass!

[Youshless]

its much the same as a desktop printer...as long as you use a specific motion. Up and Down for example, it can be quite accurate like above. I dont think it's possible to just paint where you want though, i think that would be confusing for the program used.

Either way this is very cool, image if you want to paint your walls with a specific pattern you find on the net...paint it on, then inverse the pattern and use a different colour and you will have some relaly cool results.

[343791]

OHH MAN WHEN IM OUT BOMBING FUCK CANS taking a jar of paint (little one) a roller inside my pants and a laptop in my back pack :X

[Youshless]

not following you? :s

[343791]

what ?

[Youshless]

i dont understand what your previous comment means!!!

[343791]

it means when im out bombing(doing graffiti not a mural just fast pieces) instead of a spray can ill just use one of these pixel rollers

[ConvAnnina]

ohright, great...well lol sounds like an expensive but effective tool...what about developing a airbrush/spray can version of this...set a laptop up and type dimensions of the image you want to create...load up different colours and it paints it for you. On the other hand, graffiti is an art technique so i dont know lol...sorry for the confusion!

[ponchato]

Haha, cool.

[Paulina040488]

que ciencia tiene esto no entiendo pero igual esta padre que se forme la carita

[muscle134]

thats sooo cool im asking for 1 for christmas...

[naguto]

sweeet

[amarella111]

que video tan tarado¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡como ppodeis meter ese video orrible¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡q mierda de videooooooo¡¡¡¡¡¡¡si videooooooo¡¡con:vide y 7 o incluido avos q no sabes ni pintar

[jambigirl]

weird. cool

[RyukerReo]

Listen up. The ONLY way to know if it's fake is if you recorded the video or attended that. So, unless you had anything to do with it just SHUT UP! Whether it's real or not cannot be known by just seeing the video. GOD!

[sebporter]

real

[fendiwendee]

i want one!!

[soccer13pro2007]

Whoah, chill, we know it's fake, though we probably DO have the ability to make something like that, appreciate the artistic creativity of the video people.

[mosiarmstrong]

Actually this isn't fake. I saw this device in action at Nextfest 06 at the Javits Center in NY.

[Cluescrollhunter]

its fake u idiots

[loopy1980]

did you actually attend this? how on gods fucking earth do u know its fake?

[SlashaCrasha]

Stop saying its fake..its like a printer..it keeps memory o where it is and prints..

[Levis811]

wow nice technology!! very interesting stuff

[Gregoryxlz]

huh? guess we dont need artists anymore?

[Poga7]

We'll always need artists. Perhaps one day we'll get artificial life that competes with us on every scale - but it is a tool, like a paint brush or photoshop. You still need the artist behind the technology to create.

[anoncomposmentis]

couldn't agree with poga7 more.

[ToombaHeart]

wow that is really awesome was it just a trick or real?

[xray2410]

the roller is plugged into a computer

[kiohitita]

gracias por explicarlo

[oneforthelord]

cool gadget!

[KrazyKit012]

SCARY Woody Allen

[Shimimarukuun]

it looks like my uncle!

[TenshiR]

Your right! it does look like your uncle! =oO

[paddypadman2]

its so woody allen

[Allyra309]

what an artist!!!!

[farlogrl45]

its john lennon u twats :P

[kugler2000]

COOL!!!

It's a man's face!

[Aryetti]

I think it's the face of Mr. W. Allen, isn't it?

[magicmarker789]

Oh Koolness!

[wuteveritakes06]

what were they trying to make? i think it was a man..

[rotelitot]

schaut diese video bis zum ende!!!!!!!!!!!!! ganz gut

[filis45]

meh

[kingtaki]

omg that was sooo freakin cool

[saggiehead]

no it's not, he's just rubbing on top of a relief.

[xray2410]

the roller is pluged into the computer to make it like that

[mckzck]

many that had to be your house

[bunnyboo99]

wow. thats..weiiirrrddd. but cool :]

[SkunkyBeaumont]

Buddy Holly?

[hlarne]

god you guys are retarded, this is so obviously fake

[hlarne]

get a life you retard and learn what google is

[theSlackerChannel]

whoa!  awesome

[secrecyguy]

Cool! Thumbs up!

[snuik]

rubbing: P lmaoooooo good prank 5

oh my granny is fake too...she was an alien and drank battery acid and boiling tea :P

[angelohh79]

where can i get one???...

[AVTPro]

that's a cool concept all togeher.

[pepsipopup]

i dont no if its fake or not but the clip sucks!!!

[Truthiness231]

To those who keep saying "fake": Google it dip-shits...

Also, it's not that hard to figure out how it works if you look at some of the photos it has done (outside this site). Still, it was quite a nice idea, and I'm sure the makers will find some practical uses for this. 5 stars!

[miket1991]

stupid fag, get a life, if you ge that much a month i'm sure you arent getin it from posting spam here.

[Juggalowlyfe]

SO FAKE, ivylizard knows this too

[Puleczech]

Your grandma is fake. I saw this with my own eyes at the Royal College of Art. Boyalxewo knows this too.

[miket1991]

HA HA HA HA HA your grandma is fake, that is a fucking class say. 10*!! and a thumbs up!!

[ivylizard]

bs. fake. There's just something textured on the wall behind it so when you roll the hard ruber roller over the thin piece of paper hung on the wall it creates an image. Like when you put a piece of paper over a penny and rub it with a crayon. I've seen other videos where the person wasnt careful enough and you could see the roller catch on the edge of the image under the paper.

[boyalxewo]

haha.. i saw this exhibition myself at the Royal College of Art. Nothing fake about it. It just translates the pixelized image to the computerized paint roller..

[Lazylaz10]

you tell em buddy ^.^

[joesabry]

a7aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[loser078]

how....how is this occurring?

[KevinAOtero]

hgff

[DegFire]

de teile sind geil kosten bis zu tausend euro

[unclemercy]

like sputnik on a toothpick, right?

[logan2233]

i dont get it.

[SpiderTash]

that is pretty sweet

[Archemo]

Isn't it Woody Allen?

[shoottheemokid]

i think elvis costello

[0191ohi]

its a boy look , he got glasses and everything

[amaraca]

That's so funny, I was thinking of doing that last week!

[angelica14709]

Paper pressed on to wet paint drawing?

[baxizach]

rad but too bad they painted some emo kid

[pkunze123]

i think its a self portrait. anyways its way cool

[baxizach]

ya ya rad. i need plans and schematics.

[projectdarkgrey]

That was totally stupid, and boring

[spudmustang]

Are you sure that he's not just rolling on blue or green paint that is being used as a screen for a computer-generated graphic, like in a newsroom? Is there a website for this new printer? Or perhaps a news article about it? Sorry to be a skeptic, but...

[spudmustang]

Nevermind, I looked it up and this is a real invention. Things like this are inspiring, and they show how creative and intelligent the human mind can be. Well done!

[bbproductionsLA]

officially whoa

[wanksta045]

boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[srjnation]

AMEN LOL

[krazytyme]

Controlled by a computer. Ah, I see. I was wondering why someone couldn't just paint a mural. Is it an art exhibit or something? By the way, whoever comments on my video 'The Diary of Horace Kettlebaum' will get a reward. You may not realize it at first, but u will get it. :)

[AlfredRavndal]

who did they paint? btw it was wery vreative guys! cheers

[nino18654]

can`t they just glue a poster .

[leonardothe1]

why they dont just print it?

[sandjohan]

???

[SSsiemianowice]

what amazing paint.

Cheers.

from,

del-boy.

[alwcurlz]

What amazing paint? That amazing paint.

[Dzhendobri]

What an amazing device that thing surely seems to be !

.

Better?

cheers.

from,

del-boy.

[alwcurlz]

Seems like another noisy widget we don't need.

[HHattie]

Dear al.,

Thank you for you response.

I am biased in favour, because I have a stain on my kitchen ceiling, that has come from upstairs; and wishing the stain bannised the device seemed like an easy solution -may be not.

.

Cheers.

[alwcurlz]

Huh??

[AnythingBox]

Hmmm. I want one of these. I mean, I REALLY, REALLY want one of these. Can I have one?

-- Claude S.

[DodgyIan]

Clever.... but what is it meant to be?

[Pairosity]

read the "ABOUT THIS VIDEO" dumbass

[DodgyIan]

What? Shut up you moron. The 'about this video' merely states what the technology is - not what it is making a picture of. Get your facts straight before you start calling people dumbasses... dumbass.

[jisoluups]

una cagada

[cutedancerlisa]

COOL

[KevinAOtero]

errtewrr

[Xenotalk]

Well done men, Creativity onwards...

[xchelc]

theres something behind the paper (stecil or something) thats making the paint do that

[fastfingersfunk]

woody allen is a child molester.

[Harvest86]

that was cool

[poppinproductions]

that was boring

[eugeneugene]

that's one smart roller.

[purpleapp1e]

HAhaha, I didn't understand what they were doing. But then I started to see the face, and was like whoaa!

So yeah, That's cool.

[kmfjwrfkf]

this is awesome

[cRaZy4SlaveLaborG]

reminds me of a printer

[adammrawlings]

LOLZ

[ParkerKills]

whoa, thats really cool

[DC423]

wth thats weird

[pinkartist1210]

Dont know anything about this being blagged or true- but i see its potential. It looks good and i want to see more please! P

[Laluchita18]

HAHAHAHA:D youre funny squeeqeeboy ...but this thing is for reals real...i believe in technology ...can do that and more

[squeegeeboy29]

Conno, That because this is for real. everybody's a critic. This is real. I saw it. OMG I was blown away. Then the guy pulled a quarter from my ear and changed my $100.00 bill into a $1 bill. It was f'n awasome. His next show will turn white snow into yellow. I can't wait.

[clarinetpride]

Anyone can turn white snow yellow. All you need is a husky.

[conno36]

next at the start please note 2 things, tape holding canvas in place (bottom right) and big crease running through the middle caused by the tape. now go to .34 seconds and watch. As they push the canvas on the wall, the crease is magically stuck to wall, ironed out. I.E paint on the wall is holding the canvas in place.

[djifnf]

random-international.squarespa­ce. com/pixelroller-overview/

[conno36]

Im sorry, but it winds me up that people think this is real. The paint is on the wall behind the canvas, which is just being pushed onto the paint. proof? first ask, why are they painting onto canvas and not the wall?

[mattfixie]

its real, I know these guys. they paint onto a roll of paper because it is in an exhibition space and it allows them to do more than one painting. paper it also more absorbant.

the pixels on the roller (hence the name) is controlled digitally by the laptop on the left.

not everything is a conspiracy and a lie.

[pixl8edkat]

wow. technology is advancing way quick. i'll be scared when we're serviced to via robots at home. :/ AI and I, ROBOT anyone?

[seamonkey157]

srry but im more interested on the guy on the left with a drill

[EMBuble]

That's so cool.

[synapsekiller17]

Sounds like you owe yourself a life entirely, not just a small portion of it. You couldve said "great potential as a rental for a home project." but what a waste of time that would be, silly of u really, using your brain and all..

[Kagurath]

eat it hombre.

[cubefreak93]

its just like using a pencil and shading a paper over a coin...you get the popping-out bits.

[Daidren]

another thing it could be is paint behind the canvas .. so when you press down on the canvas the wet paint shows through .. also in some of the others .. it looks a lot like ironing .. so if there was cold wax behind the sheet and you run a hot iron over the cloth the wax would show through in what ever design you made... i just see smoke and mirrors ..

[pfaffanator]

that is pretty cool

[o0LovePeace0o]

hi guys...do you love peace??

if you love peace, watch my video please.

its very beautifful.

thank you for your kind.

[crystar4]

hay ill touch your sister in laws boobs if you want no prob and ill do it for free lol

[rossi979]

lol thats true japanese ppl are pretty smart..some of them can teleport every place they want!!!the best of them is raccoon nammed Pikacho dont fuck with Japan or they will come to ur own house and beat u with shining swords

[medwaykid]

lol funny but so fake! its just a clicking paint roller going over an impression behind a sheet, think brass rubbing. Still good clip though!

[bivmonster]

take a look at their slightly different version, LightRoller - same principle but using light instead of paint/ink and a light reactive surface instead of paper.

[andyt76]

Why do you think they are fake have you touched them?

[xsited1]

I believe my sister-in-law's boobs are fake.

[A5H92]

I can remember seeing this on the gadget show on channel 5 a while back, pretty cool!

[lax4ever1]

ya, you can tell its not fake. you can hear the clicks from the roller as its applying the paint. its legit.

[xmasternl]

oops double post :S

[Lacroix1988]

Does it do abstract too ;) cool

[jasnwest]

I've also seen this at the V&A. It's pretty cool.

[Toose01]

It's likely a print head mounted to something that looks like a roller. i'm sure the cartridges are also encapsulated in the upper apparatus. Old people like me remember when scanners were like this... they were handheld and rolled over a surface to capture an image.

[trollbombz]

your moms a pixel roller

[heyyoitswarren]

lol

[Schven99]

Its no template because the paint would go everywhere not just where the template is. with the tech we have now this is quite possible.

[kayleigh33]

That is actually quite cool! But how is the paint fed to the brush? Is it by the pipe? Still. this completely changes the meaning of decorating - could you imagine going to a hardware store and saying hmm, what colour should I paint a woody allen image on my wall today - brilliant! (sorry bit over excited there) ;-)

[bivmonster]

The paint isn't fed into the brush in this version... they dip the roller into paint before putting it on the paper... But the second version stores ink like felt-pens do. Then the roller has loads of little electronically powered brush-head type things (much more technical, but I don't know the proper word for it. imagine each one representing a Pixel)Then these move in and out as the roller moves up and down the paper, placing ink wherever necessary... does that make sense?

[kayleigh33]

Yeah I get it - Thanks for explaining :-)

[bivmonster]

I've seen it in real life and it's not fake. The reason that there is paper on the wall is so they can tear off the image, then pull the roll down to paint a new one. As long as the roller stays in contact with the surface it knows which part of the image to paint.

[xmasternl]

I'm geussing the way it's done is by using a very accurate locating sensor in combination with something like a tilt sensor, so that the roller knows both were on the wall it is and at wich angle it is.

[dangerman1]

no rely it IS fake, its a pretty obvious artist technique called a wax resist the paint will only apply its self to the area of paper where wax has not been applied, i mean come on people did you not do this at school???

[dekonfrost7]

yea that works too but it's not matrix...that would have taken a long time to do buy hand with wax

[xmasternl]

I'm geussing the way it's done is by using a very accurate locating sensor in combination with something like a tilt sensor, so that the roller knows both were on the wall it is and at wich angle it is.

[demo2727]

oh my god screw you

[pierrekent]

Come on, it's just a blue screen!

[spoonerbooner]

is that woody allen?
