Paint This Town with a Slingshot!


This event is a few years old, but the idea takes us back to our childhood. Also, the video below is lots of fun. The inventor Johnny Chung Lee and friend Joshua Atlas were involved in a public art demonstration on May 6, 2005 in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. Both men designed a giant slingshot as part of a public art expo to involve the Pittsburgh community in turning a high-rise into one of the largest art displays before it met it's demise being demolished. The two men with community members placed large paintballs in the slingshot and hurled them on the side of the high-rise building.
