To help developers achieve LEED certification, a new crop of green building materials has sprung up.
Cell Phone Disco
By Avishay Artsy on Tuesday, September 30, 2008.
Tired of text messages and voicemail? Amsterdam's Informationlab has found another use for your cell phone — creating digital art.
Cell Phone Disco is an LED installation equipped with sensors that detect the electromagnetic field emitted by active phones and respond with a dazzling light show. Several thousand lights illuminate when you make or recieve a phone call in the vicinity of the installation. With your own mobile phone you can even "draw" on a canvas of brilliant red lights.
The installation is currently on display at WIRED NextFest 2008 in Chicago.
