Powerpointillism   (+15)  [vote for, against]
High-brow paint gun action

Two gigantic white canvases stand somewhere in the woods. Two teams of impressionists approach, slowly. Their stealthy crawl is burdened by a heavy load: each carry an arsenal of paint guns and a broad palette of ammunition.

Then, all hell breaks loose.

When the smoke clears, a panel of eminent art-critics evaluates who has created the best Seurat-esque painting.

Not quite what [Ehrm] had in mind, maybe - but paintball art nonetheless [wagster, Feb 10 2008]

And there I was, thinking this would have something to do with Powerpoint. How silly of me.

Picture Jack Nicholson as the Joker (Batman 1989) and his gang doing this.

I read this as Powerpoint Nihilism.

they could have something like a giant ink-jet printer mounted on a truck, which would create an image on any surface by firing paint bulelts in just the right spot. Like uber-high-tech graffiti.
