SWEATSHOPPE, 4spots, the landing extras from SWEATSHOPPE on Vimeo.

"In an effort to establish new platforms for public art and performance, the
multimedia duo SWEATSHOPPE has developed a new interactive technology that enables
them to explore the relationship between video, mark making and architecture. Dubbed
"video painting", this technology allows them to essentially "paint" video onto any
surface. Shooting in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, the duo spent weeks
documenting their work in urban settings to create "The Landing" the first in a
series of episodes that showcases their work as artist, technologist and performers.
This video shows 4 full uncut extra clips form the landing."

Then followed a range artistic techniques from brushes to biro's.
But the artist that really stopped me in my tracks was Alyssa Monks.
Her combination of oil on linen would have been breathtaking enough, but a she managed to take it a stage further when she turned on the water works.
