Interactive building: Press 3 for red

Posted on 28. Nov, 2006 by Jonathan Cherry in Design

If there wasn’t enough cool stuff to do with a cellphone already – the clever Swedes have invented an interactive building lighting system that allows you to change the colour of its lights by phoning it.

Colour by Numbers is a 72 meters high light installation at Telefonplan in Stockholm, Sweden.

You select the floors you wish to colour using the buttons 0 to 9
on your phone. The various combinations of red, green and blue can be selected on the keypad. The tower can be monitored via live video feed on the net.

Play with your buildings we always say.
Its therapeutic,  and costs a damn lot less than some billboard that most people never notice.
