Digital Slingshot Tags Buildings With SMS

I can only beg our future is this objectionable . A media grouping in Berlin hacked together a variety of digital slingshot . Type in a message , aim at a building and fire . Your message spatter all over a facade . There ’s television :

While a projector handle the actual mental imagery on the building , of course , the slingshot itself is more than a mere wooden prop . Equipped with Arduino , a laser , communications radio and keypad , it in truth interacts with the projection system ( or in other words , your aim matters . )

Now , the only thing we need is several billions of dollars in forcing out infrastructure , connected through another several billions of one dollar bill of easily hackable connection infrastructure . Then — hope you ’re still with me here — the building taggers of the world can exchange punk old spray key with digital graffiti .
