What is Digg?50 Comments
- SurrealDream, on 10/12/2007, -4/+71Dugg for conserving the collective dignity of digg (digg-nitty-of-digg, hee hee) by resisting the temptation to put the word "AMAZINGZORZ!" in the title, even though it quite clearly has it in the title of the source article.
My hat comes off to you. - shanthp, on 10/12/2007, -8/+67I think you're underestimating the amount of work and skill that went into a project like that.
- shazbot, on 10/12/2007, -10/+61It's good... I was just hoping for something more intriguing than some circles.

:) - Cerium, on 10/12/2007, -11/+27So they just put a high power projector up there on a dark night and make some chalk outlines, then mask and spray in the following weeks?
- green1152, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Not photoshop. It's very possible.
- dtribe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16For anyone who's interested here's the real article from the BBC - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/6530989.stm

- ConceptJunkie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8What puzzles me is why there's the elaborate "shadow" of the bench.
- green1152, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8I like the scale of that entire thing.
Here's some cool chalk drawings sort of related: http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/pave.htm - koick, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Funny, I feel the same way about your comment.

- feross, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The middle ellipse is cut off on the left side.
- SickPuppy2000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Nope its not Photoshop. I work just down the road from it and it is really there. Looks really strange if you are not looking at it from the right angle
- minusxthexbear, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3he does do a lot of work with shapes but is very skilled worked. It is by the artist Felice Varini. He's been doing stuff like this for over 30 years.
here's a link to his site with a lot more work

- astrotrain, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Maybe someone is planning a large real-life version of Zaxxon....
- Rikushix, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Nifty.
- PharmaPhool, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0... meanwhile, in a garage across town, the public works department guys are searching and searching for those 500 pails of paint they bought to re-line the streets....
- fusioned, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1SHOULD be allow in web!
heh - lowerlogic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Did they paint this using math or a slide-projector type thing
- DurkaMcDurk, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4Doug Funny BITCH!
- Dujoducom, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Not to dis the artist, but I don't think there is much "underestimating" the amount of "skill" here. darkness + computer with projector + circle image + paint + painters = this effect. It was the idea and execution that deserves the credit.
- Sasabune, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2SPARTAAA!!!!!!

Now, time to get a real job. - Tech44, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1I agree with Cerium. Shine the light at night and paint where the light falls.
- Playgear, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0This was on www.moillusions.com yesterday
- kinesis8, on 10/12/2007, -15/+3The last photograph looks photoshopped
- Akaji, on 10/12/2007, -21/+9Personally, I was just hoping for something more than a 502 error.
