The Hello Wall
Wasted Spaces is a non-profit art organization that transforms vacant properties and other unloved spaces into exciting art experiences. One of their most recent projects is The Hello Wall, in which Wasted Spaces commissioned London-based artist duo Hellicar & Lewis to develop an installation that uses Twitter to let the public interact with the huge wall projection. Users can interact with the wall by tweeting to @thehellowall using words such as shapes (triangles, squares, circles), commands (more, less, shake) or just say hello to @thehellowall.

I am thrilled to see designers exploring the role of technology in the pedestrian experience. Small and seemingly simple actions such as this are a great way to encourage others to think about a space in a new way. Thoughtful and clever designs like this engage people, and often spur larger and more monumental change. Kudos.
Glad you liked it Katherine. There is more to come!
