che guevara We must be running out of graffiti hoodlums, because Jurg Lehni and Uli Franke have invented a graffiti robot. Cool or what?

Hektor fits in a suitcase, but can paint a wall-sized graffiti driven by Adobe illustrator. He is driven by two motors and between those motors hangs a can of spray paint, and a mechanism to press the cap!

P.S. - Note to CNN's Al Matthews: Che Guevara was Argentinian - not Cuban!

P.S. # 2 - Note to Larry Rinder, former curator of the Whitney Biennial: Too bad Lehni and Uli are Swiss - they would have been a great pick for the 2004 show, uh?

Note to the Tate: Hello?
