Hektor - Robotic Spraycan

Hektor the robotic spray paint can is a project by Jürg Lehni with help from Uli Franke. Utilizing 2 motors and belts, the spraycan moves much like a plotter would, expect it is hung on a wall.

The spray cans motion is controlled by an automated computer program. The spray can can be programmed to paint almost anything, including words or abstract designs.    I wonder if they can program in graffiti style, something like what you might see on New York?
