Hi,

I reminds me to what has been done some 15 years ago at the Dutch univerity of Delft. It was playing “tetris” on a building.

But nonetheless this is also very very cool…

Golly, they reinvented synchronised lighting! Hook them up with the fireflies.

Ha, Wes. Don’t you realize that everyone has a camera now? It’s annoying, but there they are.

It’s almost as though students at Polish tech schools might actually be learning something.

This display is light-ist and objectifies lights!

“Threw” a Party, not “Through” a Party.

Neat Lights BTW!

It is very similar to project Blinkenlights from 2001 in Berlin and 2002 in Paris.

This brings a special smile to my face. In the late 70′s, some “artist” talked the city of Minneapolis into sponsoring a light show based on lasers and interior lights in the city’s lone skyscraper. I had a perfect view from my rent-subsidized apartment, so I through a party.

It was a disaster. The radio station played the music at double speed. No one could see the lasers. The building lights would turn on, then off, and need a minute to turn back on again. Complete disaster. It made for a great party.

It is nice to see this sort of thing sorted out 30 years later.

Lol. All I can imagine is one student trying to study for finals and his light keeps turning on and off and changing colors.

This is from the university I teach at. The students never run out of ways to impress me.
