# Sweatshoppe - LED Paint Roller

I had already mentioned [one](/amazing-urban-light-art/) thing or [two](/halo-led-spray-can/) about light art and its different uses by street artists.

This time I will show you a really interesting video, produced by Sweatshoppe, a viedo artists and multimedia performers collective. The developed the LED paint roller! It’s a paint roller, which actually doesn’t paint any paint. Instead it is made of green LEDs (light emitting diodes) which work in conjunction with a camera next to a projector which is programmed with software that tracks its movements.

This great technology has the same base as the Laser-projections by the **Graffiti Research Lab** (GRL) and allows them to create amazing videos like this one.

By the way, the LED paint roller is a really nice idea!
