Welcome
The venerable spin art machines of the 1960’s & 70s created funky, psychedelic artwork many of us remember from the carnivals and county fairs of our youth. Simply put, “spin art” is created when paint is dropped onto a rotating paper, allowing centrifugal force to make streaks of color. The RoboSpinArt machine updates this concept by making spin art attractive to the so-called “joystick generation” of today while also overcoming some of the limitations of the original design.
The RoboSpinArt machine allows you to create spin art by using a joystick to position a “paint gantry” above the paper and a series of buttons to dispense paint in measured amounts. Add an exciting light show, a rocking sound track, and a countdown timer that creates a sense of urgency, and you have a RoboSpinArt machine!
This is a really cool idea! Reminds me of a toy I had a long time ago. Where can I see one in action?
Paul,
You can see it in action in Austin, Texas on New Year’s Eve for the 2nd Annual First Night Austin celebration. Glad you like it. It is nothing like the spin art machines of old, except for the art it produces (minus about 5 gallons of paint per art piece!) It has music, sound effects, blinking lights, moving paint and print arms, speed dials, etc. A joystick controlls the speed and position of the paint and motor. You have to experience it to believe just how cool it really is. Thanks for your comment. Our designers have made different themes so that it can be used in a variety of settings.
Your machine has added another dimension to this art form . Art and entertianment . very nice.
When are you going to start selling your new machine and how much wil it cost? I’m in the carnival business and think it would be a nice addition to the midway that baby boomers could relate to for themselves and their kids to enjoy.
