Send a quick txt to the pigeons

From next month, you can watch your words go up in smoke as part of an art installation in London's Trafalgar Square. [via The Guardian]

Called Memory Cloud, the work by architects/designers Stephen and Theodore Spyropoulos will, over three evenings in October, create a huge cloud of smoke on to which the artists will project messages sent by members of the public via text message.

Those of a sensitive disposition may need to look away - all the messages will be projected uncensored.

Its' first performance was in Bristol in June 2007, called Smoke Signals.
