I ve been looking at these cheaply produced, super low resolution LED signs (the IRL animated gif ;-) for a while already. End of last year I filmed this meaningfull pair in a kiosk window in Berlin and fell in love with them. First I used the picture for the SPEED SHOW 5 title in Paris but I had to take it a bit further. :) You find LED signs in any shopping window especially in EU these days. There are also many OPEN signs in US but hardly any INTERNET signs. I had to change that! :)
The OPEN INTERNET intervention was produced during my residency stay at EYEBEAM.

I’ve seen these all over Berlin. How much were they? Where can the be purchased? I wouldn’t mind bringing a pair back to the States.
Fun. Yeah, fess up: where did you get the signs? I live opposite the späti on Torstr, makes me smile.
Since we are on the topic …

I think Guttenberg deserves to be added to the FAT banner.
