Dormitory Turned Into Huge Color Display

macson_g writes "Students from Wroclaw University of Technology (Poland) once again turned one of their dormitories into huge display. The project is called P.I.W.O. (B.E.E.R.). This time they converted a 10-story building into 4-color, 12x10 display. The business was used to display animations, and to play interactive games as well. On the project page (in Polish, Google translation here) you can watch an almost hour-long video, featuring music videos, a Tetris session, a dancing Michael Jackson, Duke Nukem and Mario."

    In my university the only thing you see on dorm windows is stacked bottles of beer. Seriously.

    You went to the wrong school. At my university the dorm windows were full of stacked coeds. Seriously. :-P

    Admit it - You only know that because you read about it on IRC one Saturday night, when everyone else had gone out.
