What is the latest in cyberpunk gear?

Each Thursday we bring you great, new, potential additions to your high-tech, low-life arsenal! We always help answer the question, What is the latest in cyberpunk gear?

This week we RE-Visit our post from April 22, 2021. Why? Just because its cool. We enjoyed writing it so much, we wanted to re-read this one! Plus, we just can’t get enough street art.

What ever happened to the promise of mechanized street art???

2032 is fast approaching and not only have we not yet seen the quick, self-healing construction surfaces that destroy graffiti in a moment, but we have more importantly not yet seen the digital design-led, mechanized graffiti device that appeared in a particularly cheesed-up cyberpunk classic.

Thanks Dr.NO!

Before anyone hits us up for Demolition Man not being Cyberpunk we merely offer the fact that Cyberpunk 2077 felt compelled to honor this particular classic of the genre with a special reference within their game release. You know it, the three seashells are back!

In any case, we wondered… what the cluck man!?!? Forget the seashells where the heck is our mechanized street art tools?

We have, however, seen developments in terms of the government’s ability to remove, or at least potentially identify and prevent vandalism. As early as 2013, Chicago was working with CityScan on a project that offered a “high-tech, fully-automated code enforcement (that) could be a boon for city coffers!” In that instance, they claim they are after illicit billboards, however, we know graffiti isn’t far behind.

Fantastic news is that street art is alive and well and even available for hire, gotta love the Graffiti Kings. However, while we do appreciate the fact that many art distributors are also keeping the dream alive, ensuring that the traditional tools (with a few cool new updates) are available to those in the craft and for those interested, we found Jerry’s Artarama, it’s just not enough.

However, we did find hope! While it doesn’t have that real-world spray appeal, we know the try is alive as some have been working to create graffiti effects with Nintendo’s Wii! This project offers a new chance at wireless drawing using a Wiimote, a Wii Sensor Bar, and a large display!

Thanks David Pride

Plus, built with a raspberry pi, David Pride (the creator), is giving us a glimpse into the possibilities to come. We’re game!

As usual, we are not sponsored by any of these products, companies, or organizations. We just love to share the coolest gear out there to cyberize and self make our worlds!

As always, love to share, and keep it digital! Come back soon and to check out more in Cyber-Gear follow this link!
