Playing Flickr

When I'm at EuroOscon, I've got to go check out this Playing Flickr art installation on the 11th floor of the PostCS building in Amsterdam:
 

The diners in bar/restaurant/club 11 will be subjected to the wrath of fellow visitors SMSing whatever keyword they want to the installation that pulls photos from the online community flickr and projects them onto Restaurant 11's huge panoramic screens.
Sounds like some of the stuff that EyeBeam has done as well. I love the way that technology is starting to power public art.

thanks for the compliment mr. tim! i'm honoured. but i'm sorry to write that the playing flickr installation will not be on show anymore during euroscon. we've discussed the possibility of temporaily reinstalling it at 11 but no decision yet... (depends on 11)

the tech is rather portable (3 powerbooks+gsm-modem) so if you're interested we could also intall it at euroscon. just let me know.
