Paint that Shit!

holy SHIT what a good idea!

you could set up some scaffolding next to a wall and a bot that moves between them. load up the bot with paint, and give it an image to do, and BAM it paints that shit on the wall.

HOW FUCKING SWEET would that be?

Random Number Generator… WITH LAVA

a lava lamp is damn near perfectly random, so why not use that to make a damn near perfectly random number generator.

have a camera pointed at the lava-lamp that is on and lavalizing, and then when a random number is needed, it could just snap a picture of the lava, and generate a random number based on the position of the lava.

now, to closely consecutive pings for numbers might not be 100% random, but there are things we could do to make it work really well. it’d be a cool web program too!

Artistic Animals

a sweet system could be to use strange inputs (such as animals, like cats or whales) to create art.

This guy did it with flies: http://www.dwbowen.com/fliesmovie.html

this other guy did something similar:

the inspiration for this came from elephants that could paint by holding a paintbrush with their nose, but how would a whale hold a paintbrush?

definitely a very creative, special idea.
