Hektor: the Graffiti Robot

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the kids-these-days dept.

Lopex writes "Gizmodo has a story about Hektor, a graffiti robot. Apparently it is for the extremely geeky (or perhaps extremely lazy) tagger. Hektor.ch has photos, information (pdf), and a movie (15 Mb) of it in action."

    oooooo, what's the matter kiddie? Don't like me trashing your precious, media-manufactured world-view?

    Tagging isn't "cool". It's not "hip", "extreme", "3l3373", or any other bullshit. It's pure and simple vandalism.

    You rank amongst people who litter and piss on the sidewalk.

    Nobody admires your "mad tagging sKiLLz" except your own tiny, pathetic clique of mouthbreathing feces-smearers. The rest of the world properly sees you as just another form of vermin, and your "artwork" is greeted with the same enthusiasm as a fresh, steaming rat turd in one's oatmeal.

    You have as much claim to "artwork" as a pigeon does to a rain-streaked pile of pigeon droppings on the top of a statue. Same asthetic.

    Here's a clue: humanity grew out of marking our territory with ugly messes about 3 million years ago. How about growing the fuck up and joining the rest of us in civilization?
