Poetry Slam Supported by SMS to Wall System

The locally well known livelyrix poetry slam took place in Dresden last Friday again.

Ten poets presented their poems and texts in the sold out event centre Scheune.

Additionally, every guest was invited to send its poem as a text message from its own mobile during the show breaks. All texts sent were received by SMS Chatwall and were projected onto a screen on the stage.

The audience took part actively, as there were one hundred messages broadcasted during both breaks. Mobile poets could write anonymously. Therefore more people dared to present their lyrics to a broader audience.
