Mythbusters Paint Mona Lisa In One Go With 1,100-Barrel Paint Gun
Leonardo Da Vinci might have worked painstakingly on the Mona Lisa and her enigmatic smile but the crowd at Mythbusters managed their own version in less than a second at nVidia’s NVISION event this week. Of course, the duo of Adam and Jamie were going to have to pull it off in style, if they wanted to demonstrate the difference between single-core CPUs and multi-core graphics processing units (GPUs). And that they did, with the help of an 1100-barrel paint gun that fired all the paint simultaneously. The result: a pretty recognisable Mona Lisa, despite the dripping. To break it down, we are talking about 2,100 paint balls hurtling to the reinforced canvas 8-feet away in just 275ms. There are those who would argue that the experiment was too simplistic to really capture the complexity of different processor architectures but, when the show is this good, who gives a damn?-Martin Lynch [Crunchgear] technology art
