Playing Flickr. By tim

When I'm at EuroOscon, I've got to go check out this Playing Flickr art installation on the 11th floor of the PostCS building in Amsterdam:
 

The diners in bar/restaurant/club 11 will be subjected to the wrath of fellow visitors SMSing whatever keyword they want to the installation that pulls photos from the online community flickr and projects them onto Restaurant 11's huge panoramic screens.

Sounds like some of the stuff that EyeBeam has done as well. I love the way that technology is starting to power public art. [O'Reilly Radar]

Bush propaganda illegal. Payments to Armstrong Williams and company were illegal.

Federal auditors said on Friday that the Bush administration violated the law by buying favorable news coverage of President Bush's education policies, by making payments to the conservative commentator Armstrong Williams and by hiring a public relations company to analyze media perceptions of the Republican Party.

In a blistering report, the investigators, from the Government Accountability Office, said the administration had disseminated "covert propaganda" in the United States, in violation of a statutory ban.

So who will do a perp walk for this violation of law? No one. There is no penalty for violation of this law. By kos . [Daily Kos]

Well, when you have a Defense Department that refuses to follow the wishes of Congress, why should we expect anything will be done to stop the illegal propaganda schemes except public ridicule. Congress will do nothing and eventually public ridicule holds little power over criminals who love power..  4:16:17 PM
