MIT Media Lab - Labcast: Urban Pixels

Setting pixels free, and blurring the boundary between street lighting and digital displays. Urban Pixels is a concept where public space lighting can be programmed in all kinds of ways. For example, instead of having the typical urban skyline illuminated by a static set of office building lights, the lighting display could be programmed so that it could be dynamic and active. William Mitchell sees it as liberating pixels from their traditionally confining frames.
