Project Blinkenlights

Project Blinkenlights transforms the Tower T2 of the Bibliothèque nationale de France into a huge computer screen. Wanna play a giant game of Tetris via your mobile phone? Or just wonder at the giant pixellated images which the Parisiens can? Go here! Or if you have Unix on your computer, you can hook up live. Those wacky Euro's, eh?

The image is incredible. As for the Tetris game, check out the beta version.

For reference: The previous BlinkenLights thread, this was about the building in Berlin.

I love the concept, I wish there was something similar here in NYC. I would love it if they did this with either the UN building or the new Trump or heck even MetLife/PanAm.

When i was in college in NYC, we had our own low-cost low-fi version of this: A beat up movie projector and the skyscraper wall opposite our building. So if you live next to a skyscraper and you cant hack the interior lights, set up you own super wide screen TV. Your neighbor upstairs might thank you for once.

I missed the original post somehow and I love this. I like the geek toy factor and the enormous-public-art factor and the web-wide audience factor. Thanks.
