"From the 1st to the 24th of November people can use this website to send short text messages to each other using a cell phone or web browser. However, rather than being sent directly, the messages will be encoded as unique sequences of flashes with 20 robotically-controlled searchlights, turning the sky around the YCAM Center into a giant communication switchboard."

maybe there's a program somewhere where you can input an url and see it translated to a light show (a la itunes or some other graphic visualizer)?
