"In the early hours of
Wednesday morning, the age of robotic graffiti was born. KATSU, a
well-known graffiti artist and vandal, used a hacked Phantom drone to
paint a giant red scribble across Kendall Jenner’s face on one of New
York City’s largest and most viewed billboards. By all accounts, it is
the first time that a drone has been deployed for a major act of public
vandalism.
In April last year, KATSU made headlines when he demonstrated that he had figured out how to attach a spray can
to an off-the-shelf DJI Phantom drone. At the time, he was only using
the drone to paint canvasses for white-wall galleries. But he assured
the world that soon he would take his mad invention out into the streets
and create enormous tags in places that were previously inaccessible to
even the most daring and acrobatic taggers. Now, he appears to have
made good on his promise in grand fashion."
Bummer. All good things can also be used in stupid ways.
