Fairground ride art

" I connected a gas generator and air compressor to buckets of paint and secured them into the seats of a Scrambler amusement park ride. Once the ride was in motion, paint sprayed out of the benches onto vinyl tarps placed underneath. The result is a series of enormous hypocycloid designs which recorded the hidden patterns created by the ride as it turned."

Pictures of the results here: there are videos of it taking place, too.

I think though that to be in keeping with the materials she should have used buckets of different-coloured vomit, rather than paint.

Possibly when on a roundabout, yes. Not with spirograph though... that'd be... I'm just going to stop thinking about this now.
