2.6 Ton Pinball Machine

Posted by michael on from the tilt dept.

nmoog writes "Heres something you don't see everyday - The Southtyrol-game is an 11 metre, 2.6 tonne pinball "style" machine. Its intention? 'Provide an ironic and entertaining demonstration of how the advent of tourism shaped the landscape and economic habits in the small Italian province of Southtyrol.' And powered by Linux to boot. Um, as well."

    The Touriseum, eh? A museum dedicated to tourism.

    That's kind of like a book about people who read, or a movie portraying people watching movies.

    Who would go to a tourist attraction, which is dedicated to proving how tourist attractions ruined the way of life for that place? Someone in search of the elusive "one hand clapping" sound, maybe.
