Stereoscope is an interactive light installation built inside Toronto City Hall. This installation by
the German group Project Blinkenlights transforms the landmark towers into a huge display screen by arranging
lamps behind each of the 960 windows of the building. From dusk till dawn, the façade will serve
as an ever-changing and evolving kaleidoscope of graphic animations automatically generated and interactively
orchestrated. The public can influence the Stereoscope through a variety of interfaces including smartphones,
the web and physical controllers located at Nathan Philips Square. Everybody is invited to participate
and get more information at www.blinkenlights.net
Project Blinkenlights became famous for the first interactive media facade that could be controlled
by a simple mobile phone in Berlin, 2001. The project that later became known as "Blinkenlights" spawned
a follow-up installation of even greater dimensions and scope targeting the Blibiothèque nationale
de France in Paris, France. Project Blinkenlights develops all technology on its own, enabling the sophisticated
feature set unknown to similar projects. The computer software used to run this project is published
under an open-source license.
