The Pixelstick is currently in marketing development and is seeking investment through Kickstarter.

It is then able to display these images one line of pixels at a time, and by movement of the stick in front of a long exposure camera, an image is burnt. Simply create your image in Photoshop or other such software and upload this onto the Pixelstick using its SD card reader. Next to this is its perpendicular handle, with a secondary aluminium sleeve so to allow the stick to be spun freely. At the stick’s centre is a processor and control panel, the brain of its operation. Each LED corresponds to a pixel in an image, it can be 1 to 198 pixels tall, but thousands wide.

The Pixelstick is made up of 198 full colour RGB LEDs inside a lightweight aluminium extrusion case. And their answer can be seen in these stunning abstract art works and animations These limitations soon grew to frustrations, which blossomed into a desire to bring something revolutionary to this artistic medium. In doing so they noticed the limitations in what current technology and equipment could achieve. Beginning with a passion for photography and product design, Bitbanger Labs explored the works of painting with light. The Pixelstick, an evolution in light painting, is the product of Bitbanger Labs, a New York City based company founded by friends Duncan Frazier and Steve McGuigan. The Coolector School of Art certainly has the imagination and an ability to expose at length (most DSLRs and Point and Shoots can do this), but as for a cool light source, their options are dull. The ingredients to create are simple, it just takes a light source, a long exposure camera, and a bit of imagination. Painting with light has been around for longer than you think, dating back over a 100 years.

So far they’ve just about managed to write ‘The Coolector’ with a sparkler. However, there is one particular technique that has yet to be mastered long exposure light painting. The gang at The Coolector see themselves fairly competent with most art crafts, give them a pencil, brush, or oils and a masterpiece is sure to follow.
