Skyscraper poem

Last post reminded me of another big idea. Night time. Have someone stationed in each room of a very large building and be in contact by radio/mobile phone with them all. By having them control the lights in their room, spell out letters and words pixel style. A performance seen over a whole city.

    Ah, great idea. I’ve seen this done to make it look like Tetris (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CBBPtjLg_0) is being played, but a poem would be MUCH cooler. Love it.

    A poem WOULD be awesome — but so is that Tetris game!

    On a much cruder note, a friend of mine organized this building photo (http://www.boingboing.net/2006/04/12/uwaterloo-library-wi.html) a few years back during exams — NSFW (but quite funny and to the point).
