    Huge, cool and fun!

    http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com...ves/004366.php



    Arcade which is part of Project Blinklights is an interactive light installation, allowing mobile users to play games such as Tetris, Pong or Pacman which are displayed on Buildings, by using their mobile phones.

    For instance, a player standing in front of Bibliothèque Nationale de France can connect himself with the building by dialing +33 (1) 44 24 73 50. The current show will be interrupted and the text "TETRIS" announces that the game can begin.
    Damn, why is'nt there a skyscraper next to my house?

    Yeah, that's cool. Until someone decides to start using the lights for advertising Viagra.

    is this real or a hoax? I find it hard to believe a building would allow its lights to be turned on and off for this purpose. and what about the poor soul who is working late?

    has anyone here actually seen this for real?

    I think its more likely a series of spotlights put in the windows to give the effect of the office lights being on

    they're actually some panels they install in front of the windows.
