Halo: Graffiti-Style Light Writing
Aug 05, 2009 - By Chris Weiss
Graffiti is one of the true anomalies of modern urban living: on one hand, no one wants it anywhere near their apartment building or neighborhood, but on the other, one can’t help but stare and enjoy the sheer dexterity and skill with which some graffiti is sprayed. Aissa Logerot’s Halo breaks through this anomaly and provides a tool by which graffiti artists can express themselves in a cleanlier format: light. As an aerosol-style LED light writing device, the Halo is a logical transition for any graffiti artist. The resulting artwork can be documented on camera rather than concrete, providing the beauty of graffiti, without the ensuing mess and societal detraction. The artist can adjust the color and brightness as needed, and recharge the battery by shaking. In the future, perhaps we’ll see building walls and old, run-down utility vans covered in tacked photos rather than paint. [via aissalogerot.com]

Those are some high hopes you have, whoever invented this. Granted, it looks cool.. But how long does it last? Can you use it anywhere? A lot of people who do graffiti don't want their stuff to just disappear. Cool thought I guess, but…… eh.

Photo will last much longer, than a wall… ;)
