Gorbals Highlights

Saw this and thought people might find it interesting. Here's what the creator has to say about it.

"This is a project I organised in 2004 in one of the derelict high rise buildings in the Gorbals, where I used to live.The aim was to celebrate the relatively short life of the building before it disappeared forever. I feel that it is wrong that these buildings are demolished without a trace, like so many of the homes that have been part of Gorbals' heritage. The lamps in each room were connected to a computer which I programmed to generate the animations, some of them designed by local children who lived in the tower blocks.I am organising a similar project, but bigger and better, multicoloured and interactive. See www.multicolours.org"

I have good memories of seeing these displays as I drove over to see my mother-in-law. Always wondered who was responsible. Thanks for posting this.
