Send your Message Across the Night Sky of Trafalgar Square

Traflagar Square and Robot Arms

 Tomorrow Night one of the London Design Festivals’ most exciting projects – Outrace – will go live in Trafalgar Square.

The project has been created by designers Clemens Weisshaar and Reed Kram, with help from Audi AG, who provided the eight industrial robots which along with the general public will create the piece.

Light heads have been attached onto synchronised mechanical tentacles that are equipped with LED technology and then users are able to write messages which are traced through the air in real time.

In true celebration of digital though anyone can send a message whether in person at Trafalgar square or via the purpose built website   and as each message is emblazoned across the sky the unique light trace is recorded and uploaded to the web via HD cameras!
