Vor einiger Zeit haben wir über die Studio-Experimente der weltweit ersten Graffiti-Drohne des Künstler Katsu berichtet.
Nun wurde die Drohne beim ersten öffentlichen Einsatz gefilmt, wie sie das größte Werbeplakat New Yorks getagt hat. Ich würde sagen, das Zeitalter von Drohnen-Vandalismus hat begonnen – und es verspricht verdammt spannend zu werden.
The Calvin Klein billboard, one of New York City’s largest, sits at the busy intersection of Houston St and Lafayette St. The graffiti drone’s potential for troublemaking on an unprecedentedly grand scale is obvious. The billboard is absolutely gigantic, about six stories tall. It would have been almost impossible to tag Jenner’s face using the traditional methods. One could rappel off the top of the building or use a cherry picker, but neither option is exactly safe, or subtle, or quick enough that one could do it without cops on regular patrol spotting it. With the drone, by contrast, it took less than a minute. Still, the artist admitted, “It was a bit tense.” (Needless to say, the stunt was extremely illegal).
