TXT-A-Sketch

Paul Notzold, working with Federico Hatoum, have been working on a community drawing tool that allows you to use SMS to draw on buildings.

The piece will debut in the Streets of Rome, Italy from March 1 - 3. TXTual Healing and TXT-A-Sketch will both be on view as part of the Urban Portraits show at rialtosantambrogio.org.

In their own words:

Send a txt message and the system turns pairs of letters into points, and then lines connect the points. It's an X & Y axis using the alphabet to make coordinates... The whole thing is projected onto a building facade. See what your name looks like, or get creative and draw objects and symbols.
