@OMG! Ponies!: Woah there, It did in fact remind me of that but I did not want to post it, simply because it would offend many types of people (Jewish, Homosexual, Gypsies, etc).
I am in fact offended by the picture, not just because I am jewish, but because that picture is just simply disturbing and a tad bit racist. If you can please remove it, that would be great #pebrobench
For the record, I'm also Jewish. And the grandson of a German Jewish immigrant who came to America in the early 1930s. He also served in WWII and helped liberate several concentration camps.
I understand you find it offensive. But this may be more you being sensitive and less me being insensitive. #pebrobench
It's gorgeous, and bizarrely informative (or informatively bizarre?)... but what the hell is its purpose? The Living Light article just calls it a "project". Best I can come up with is art installation to keep people thinking about how they're impacting their local air quality? It's also good for long-term data collection, I guess.
Seems kinda silly as a daily warning system. People normally have shit to do in certain neighborhoods, so they can't just say, "Oh, air quality's bad in that area today, I guess I won't go," or, "Hey, air quality's bitchin' uptown, think I'll check that out!" Weekends would be another matter, I guess. #livinglight
That is pretty amazing. I'd love to have something similar to this just hanging in my room, not for this purpose, but it looks like something out of stargate XD
If anyone would like to let me know how to do the laser etching and such to make glass light up like that, please let me know, DIY FTW! :D #livinglight
@Jaredu: I'm gonna guess (and not RTFA) that the glass is simply acid etched. The glass panels are then made to light up like that by putting LEDs on the edge of the glass. #livinglight
They can laser etch any vector or raster image into anything from plate steel to blue jeans. They can also do glass. Oh, and if anyone is interested they told me they can probably do iPhones (I was specifically asking about first gen, not sure how the plastic would hold up).
After you etch the glass, just end-light it with a LED strip.

Oh pardon my quick entry without reading the rest of the comments. Seems that's been said quite a few times already, imagine that.

Sorry about the Godwin but this is what I thought of when I first saw it.
Maybe we can set some up in front of the Reichstag. #pebrobench

@OMG! Ponies!: It's ok, I first read it as Pedo Bench and decided that it needed this.
