I was thinking of the one at washington U but they used MIT's tech anyway. I'm down with pixel wall. You could take your video feed of people etc and run it through a plugin for gnarly visual effects to spice things up, and display on pixel wall. OMG yeah we need to start a club with jumbotrons for all the walls.
If I'm understanding your pixel wall idea correctly, there was something like it at the Contemporary Art Museum in Montreal early last year, except the display was motion-triggered. The wall in its base state had a visual of moving water projected onto it. You stood in the room and were invisible when immobile, but when you started moving your silhouette would appear on the wall of moving water.
Party... Jumobtron... modern art... all the same thing. ^_^
I like down at city hall where there's the motion sensor that makes noises based on the speed and direction of your movement. It's also fun watching the startled reactions of people not expecting noise to be made off of their movements as they walk by.
Argh, that reminds me of the displays in store windows in Montreal. It'll be a clothes store with a motion sensor in their big floor-to-ceiling-glass storefront, and whenever ppl walk by, the sensor makes an ad for the store play on the LCD monitor in the window. It's an interesting idea, but not in high-traffic areas, e.g. Ste-Catherine St. You lose the surprise appeal of the city hall thing b/c it's always on. =( And way to have irritating advetising, too... there's usually music that plays as well. ^_^
Sounds annoying, but I was thinking more like a large room with a winamp vis plugin mapped to its surfaces, with the input being music and people in the room.
It would take a fuckload of LEDs, but it'd be worth it.
