Drones have been tracking stray dogs in Houston, flying onto the White House lawn and now: finding their creative voice.
Early on Wednesday, a graffiti artist named KATSU piloted a hacked Phantom drone to paint red lines across a massive billboard of model Kendall Jenner’s face, WIRED reports, supposedly marking the first time a drone has been used for graffiti in such a way.
“It turned out surprisingly well,” KATSU told WIRED. “It’s exciting to see its first potential use as a device for vandalism.”
