“Live Art” Day at Google – Vulcan painting

Posted by

A few months ago we had a well-known spray can artist named Vulcan paint a set of Google Mini search appliances (http://mini.google.com) for a Japanese launch event. They came out really hot, so this past Friday we invited him to come to the Google campus in Mountain View and do a live painting during lunch time.

This is a time-lapse video of the painting coming to life by hip-hop filmmaker Kevin Epps.
