Because of the increased commercial interest of paving public space with digital advertising
screens the need for an accessibel intervention devices seemed obvious and necessary.
The wish and habit to comment (tag) the surrounding world is also an ancient
and still vivant phenomena we try to preserve. Our concept of VR/URBAN aims for claiming
back urban space and and give the inhabitants a tool for occupiing urban screens.
People shall not only remain as a passive audience, they must obtain the privilege and
beside that the right tools to create their own multimedia content in the streets. The
more and more mushrooming media facades, LED supplied walls and huge projections
are interesting and worthy technical innovations for the people, but in contrast to the old
fashioned posters in the streets, it is nearly impossible to create own content for these
facades or even hang up your digital video. The SMSlingshot is an autonom working
device, equipped with a high frequency radio, hacked arduino board, laser and batteries.
Text messages can be typed on a phone-sized wooden keypad which is integrated in
an also wooden slingshot. After the message is finished, the user can aim on a media
facade and send/shoot the message straight to the targeted point. It will then appear as
a coloured splash with the message written within. The text message will also be realtime
twittered - just in case.
