...in case you are there at the time, must be some spectacular sight...

 

A group of American artists is using 450 balloons and thousands of light emitting diodes to turn the 2,000-year-old Hadrian's Wall into the world's longest work of art. New York digital arts collective YesYesNo has been invited by organizers of Britain's Olympic-themed summer arts festival to transform the wall, built by Roman invaders to guard the northern frontier of their empire.

I suppose after they attempted to illuminate the entire length of Hadrian's Wall with beacons back in March 2010 someone had to think up other ways of doing so and sending 'text' messages seems the way it had to go... :rolleyes:
