cavepainting robots
with basic shape recognition and maybe a wire to [link to/communicate with] the surface | |
instead of being down there in the cave ,as in ancient times, and recognising shapes on the walls that might ,with a bit of painting & tweaking ,make a good horse or buffalo shape; how about a robot-- ,small and maneauvrable ,equipped with a camera and horse recognition technology and able to fit in
spaces where humans couldnt reach and a once a patch of rock deemed horseable enough is found , an artist can be alerted to teleoperate the robot to make a painting
Short name, e.g., Bob's Coffee
Destination URL.
E.g., http://www.coffee.com/

Why not have robots paint robots on the walls. That'd f**k with peoples' heads. Better yet, get horses to do the painting on the artists. |

Interesting challenges here. |

1. Some caves fill periodically with water, so it's going to have to be submersible.
2. A shitload of cranky old academics are going to jump all over you if it paints graffiti over an existing cave painting, not to mention Ministries of Culture and Science.
3. The paintings will be nothing more than graffiti, as they will have no intrinsic or historical significance. |

For these reasons, and others, you earn a fishbone. Sorry. |
|
| |
If the robot you invent draws a ruminant where *you* can't see or reach it, no-one else will see it either. |
|
| |
Unless you use it to draw on ceilings, etc.. Say, five metres from floor level. Freak out some future archaeologists! :) |

How about a paint roller, with a bison stamp incorporated? |
|
| |
Who says it has no historical significance? I think that's for hencity to decide. Croissant. |
|
| |
I like the idea, obviously. How about graffiti-bots that paint all over abandoned buildings and fences in urban areas? |

Just get a branding iron and melt your shape into a cave wall. |
