Theodore Watson

Alrighhttttt so I've decided it's about time that I bother posting something on here.
So i figured I'll tell you a bit about Theodore Watson who was around today to talk about his work. I'm sure that those who are also from the WdKA were aware of this ;D. Anyways, Theodore Watson is known as a laser tagger, and basically what he does is make huge projections of graffiti art on buildings. He's been asked to do it in a lot of countries, and every single time he invites graffiti artists from around the place to join in the fun. These projection systems are basically made out of algorithms which follow the commands made by the laser which is used to draw on the building. This software is even going to be available to download so that other people can make adjustments to it or make use of it.  His talk was quite interesting, he showed a lot of videos of interactive media he has created, and how people reacted to this which was mostly positive. Anyways if you want to know more about him and some of his projects his website is: http://muonics.net/

okay bye :D
