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. EXTERNAL LINKS |
