Control Lightshow Over Dublin Sky From A Webpage

nev4 writes "Ireland is celebrating their EU presidency for 2004 with an interactive lightshow over Dublin. The project, Vectorial Elevation, allows people to control the 22 searchlights (154,000 watts, can be seen for a 15km radius) shining over Dublin by submitting a design on the project's website. The designs are queued and a new design is displayed every 14 seconds from dusk to dawn (GMT +1). You can see an aerial view of the city and the current design via live webcam or browse snapshots of previous designs. The tool for submitting deisgns also contains a 3D model of the city that you can pan around or "walk-through". Once you submit your design, you can opt to receive an e-mail when it is being displayed; when I submitted mine there was no one in the queue, so it was displayed immediately."

    of celebrating the astronomical waste of money that is the EU than wasting taxpayers money shining light into the stars?

    ...make an image of liquor-smelling PUKE surrounded by a cloud of noxious cigarette smoke? That would be perfect for dublin. Personally, I won't waste any of my time on it.
