Hektor is a Spray Paint Output Device. It was realized during two months in Summer 2002 by Jürg Lehni and Uli Franke, an electronics engineer from Zurich, for Lehni's diploma project at the école cantonale d'art de Lausanne (écal).
Hektor consists of a suitcase which contains two electric motors, a spray-can holder, toothed belts, cables, a strong battery and a circuit board which is connected to a laptop and controls the machine. The motors that are mounted onto the wall suspend the can holder through the toothed belts and define its position by changing the length of these belts.
Hektor follows instructions written in Java script through Scriptographer for Adobe Illustrator.
