Das SMSlingshot Projekt vom Kollektiv VR/Urban geht auf Welt-Tour: SMS-Texte können per Guerilla-Handy-Zwille an die Wand geschossen werden, wo sie visualisiert werden, um einen Gegenpol zu Leucht- und Videowerbung im öffentlichen Raumes zu setzen. Schönes urbanes Kommunikationsprojekt. Mehr über die theoretischen Überlegungen und die technische Umsetzung des Projektes gibt es hier auf der Website des Projekts.
„This will be a great summer. We will go on a little world tour to present and let the people use our SMSlingshot.
The first show this summer will befrom 26th-31st of july at the FILE festival in Sao Paulo, yes: that SAO PAULO in Brazil. We are invited to help the brazilian people reclaim their city space, though there are no advertising screens anymore. The venue isn´t 100%confirmed yet but it is propably around MASP Museum of modern Art and SESI.
During the festival we will give a talk at the symposium and declare the „Act on Hybrid Estates“ the first time! But if that wouldn´t be enough we also will try out something new… a surprise.
Next stop is the International Media Facade Festival Europe, starting of 27th of Augut till 3rd of October. We participate as a joint broadcasting system that enables locals in Berlin / Germany and Liverpool / UK to communicate with the SMSlingshots in real-time over an urban mediascreen. There will be another version of this mass-communication-set up linking Berlin to Linz during the Ars Electronica festival. Finally we end this at MediaLab Prado in Madrid at the 11th of September shooting textmessages at the LED Facade of the lab during the White Nights festival.“
