Artist Matthias Haase unveils a new art project driven by SMS.

SMS-chat sculpture

For this year’s diploma exhibition of the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Dresden (Dresden’s High School of art), Matthias Haase has presented a project using a special version of the SMS Chatwall event software.

Haase installed the GSM-module, a computer and beamer equipment on a table with a projection screen, calling the installation “Bote” (messenger). Exhibition visitors can send short messages to the number shown on the screen. As a take-away gift for the visitor, the sculpture replies with an artist’s “thank you” SMS, mentioning the art exhibition at the HfBK 2005.

People who want to take part, but can’t attend the exhibition can send an SMS to +4915204912748
