Project Blinkenlights
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Project Blinkenlights was created by the German Chaos Computer Club in 2001 as a celebration of its 20th birthday. A light installation in the Haus des Lehrers building at the Alexanderplatz in Berlin transformed its front into a giant monochrome low-resolution computer screen. Some novel uses of the screen are for people to call a number and play Pong via mobile phone or display animations sent in by the public.
A similar installation was created by the CCC for the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris. This installation was called Arcade, and featured a higher resolution as well as eight shades of gray.
The term "blinkenlights" originates in hacker humor.
