if so how far does this concept go with changing the tools and mediums????
some argue that writing is simply writing and not a means of drawing visual symbols [visual language] that inform [or translate] a written and spoken language.... So if that is the case how would writing a code or formula to design/record a traceable made mark within or to a canvas realistically or virtually be a way drawing???
Can you write visual language as you could draw spoken language?
Paint Whole Buildings with Light Graffiti

The Graffiti Research Lab takes a laptop, projector, a high-resolution camera, and a 60 megawatt green laser, and decides to do something cool with it. The rest of the story might speak for itself, but to believe it, it must be seen: astonishing laser-guided light-graffiti that covers entire buildings.
The L.A.S.E.R. Tag installation, stashed in the back of a van or upon a cart, aims the camera on the target surface and tracks the laser pointer’s movement over it. It then uses the high-powered DLP projector to paint the traced image.
The sad thing is that most will use it to slash out tags rather than do anything creative with it. I know, deep down, that my first personal experience of this technology will likely be seeing the name “SUB” projected onto Canary Wharf as my train rolls into London’s Liverpool St. Station.
Thankfully, the system looks kinda complicated and expensive to set up (it’s open-source!), which, one hopes, may encourage more scenes from classic video games. The how-to is here.
Watch the video past the jump.
