Spectra-txt sculpture by Peter Freeman
A spectacular mobile phone operated light sculpture by a Penzance artist has become the centrepiece of a Cleveland town, according to the BBC. "Spectra-txt, unveiled in Middlesbrough last week, is 10 metres high and weighs a hefty two tonnes and incorporates a light show. And this is the clever bit: the steel tower has been designed to change colour when sent one of six special text message commands. The colour can be determined from anywhere on the planet, linking Middlesbrough with, among other places, Tahitit - from where a special text message was sent as part of the opening ceremony." Interact with Spectra-txt by texting one of the following commands to this number: 07919 00 00 77. Some previous greater than life SMS projects, involving world participation: -- The Hello World Project - During the course of the UN's World Summit on the Information Society held in Geneva in December 2004, people from all over the world were be able to send in text messages, which were be projected almost instantly by a laser beam on mountains and buildings in Mumbai (Marine Drive), Rio de Janeiro (Morro dois Irmaos Mountain), New York (UN building) and lake Geneva's "Jet d'eau"(water fountain). -- Amodal Suspension - Short text messages sent by people over the Internet or by cell phone will be converted into patterns of flashing lights in the sky, turning the Japanese city of Yamaguchi into a giant communication switchboard. cf Amodal Suspension. -- hellomrpresident - In 2001 people sent messages to Davos during the World Economic Forum's annual conference. A laser projector beamed the text messges onto the mountain side overlooking the famous ski resort, so that they could be seen by the hundreds of journalists and thousands of people from all over the world. |
