Wow.. that's pretty amazing.
If you can not get enough of Jamie and Adam, here is the full version of their presentation at NVISION 08. It runs about 15 minutes and you will see exactly want the audience saw.

If the only thing that the 1100 barrel paint ball gun can draw is the same Mona Lisa, then why have a processing unit? Just preload each barrel with the right color and pull the trigger.
I would have been more impressed if the demo showed the rendering (painting) of one canvas after another, depicting different artwork.
The Mona Lisa doesn't have eyebrows.
