Luv Msgs - digital tree carvings for a mobile generation

LUVMSG' is reusable, digital tree carving. It's a grid of L.E.D's, implanted under the bark of special trees where people often meet.

Each tree has a phone number that people can send SMS messages to.

The SMS is received by the tree and displayed in the L.E.D grid for as long as the people are near. When they go, the message dissapears but is remembered.

Other people may come and go, leaving messages for themselves or their loved ones. When people return to the tree, it remembers the message that was stored last time they were there and displays it, as if it had always been there.
