Painting Mona Lisa In .008 Seconds - Watch more free videos

These video clips look like they’re from a live Mythbusters performance. The clip shows two machines they’ve built to paint using paintballs. The first one is a bit of a joke - it definitely doesn’t come close to producing the Mona Lisa. The second machine - “GPU” - has massive compressed air tanks, more than a mile of hose and 1100 fixed barrels each loaded with a single colored paintball. La Jaconde has been painstaking reproduced by scores of artists over the years. The Mythbusters use their incredible machine to reproduce the Smiling Lady in .008 seconds. [Break.com]

    It took place at Nvidia’s Nvision event. (Nvidia = video cards = gpu demonstration)

    Cool, Peter - thanks!

    Any idea when the event took place?

    Well, hardly accurate, but better than the first one.

    Kinda pointless overall.

    Reminds me of that make-up gun homer invented.

    This is pretty damn cool. Absolutely useless but nonetheless cool.

    The visual version of too much time on your hands?

    Considering what they were probably paid for a couple minute demonstration, this is most definitely NOT time wasted…

    Would have loved to have been on that design and build team!
