stockholm-based street artist akay has created the ‘rainbow warrior: tool no 05.1’ which is part of his ‘instruments of mass destruction (complicated technical solutions to aide in simple acts of vandalism) series’, that includes the previous ‘robo-rainbow: tool no 10’. for both of the ‘art-making’ tools, the individual attaches an implement to the back of his/her bicycle.

where the ‘robo-rainbow’ employs a mechanical arm, swinging in an arch above the biker to paint the wall while stopped, the tagging process with the ‘rainbow warrior’ is further expedited. the ‘rainbow warrior’ has a simple structure that is attached to the back of a bike and once installed, stands vertically, misting the surface adjacent to the the biker with a spray-painted rainbow as they ride past.
