It's all about finding social empowerment through the spirit of collaboration. The process of working together helps the participants build bridges to each other, and leads to the creation of high-calibre art.
Common Weal inspires ideas for social change through art. By linking professional artists with communities to engage in collaborative art projects, we empower people - and their communities - to tell their stories in their own voices.
Research- WIFI Graffiti ( Wiffiti )
http://www.wiffiti.com/txtoutloud/
A new technology called Wiffiti is,enabling people to send text messages to large flat panel displays in social venues such as cafes, bars and clubs. Wiffiti is grounded upon the premise that sending messages to a public screen rather than a private phone will resonate with both the location and its community.
Messages sent to Wiffiti screens are also visible on this web site, encouraging people to watch “the word on the street” as it unfolds. Click on the viewer tab, pick a screen, and send a txt from anywhere. Then, sit back and watch responses appear from across the country! Better yet, head over to the closest Wiffiti location to txt out loud!
The first Wiffiti screen was installed in January 2006 at Someday Café in Boston, MA, a city that now has three other Wiffiti screens. Screens are now spreading rapidly, appearing in Chicago, Denver, Seattle, Knoxville, Boulder and New York.
I tried getting a password and also tried to log in, but it does not work for international audience.
