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.
