Blinkenlights Pixels Screen Building

This could be a great business when Blinkenlights place is open for rent. Let say, 50 bucks to show your love one an animated smiley in a minute? Or 100 bucks to type in your apologize message?

Blink a few times and pinch yourself. The world’s biggest interactive display (back in 2002), Blinkenlights, is constructed from 144 computer-controlled lamps behind the front windows of an 8 storey high building. You can author and submit your personal large-scale animation or have a real-time Pong match via your cell phone against other connected participants. Each independently controlled lamp can produce a monochrome matrix of 18 times 8 pixels.
