Speech bubbles
TXTual Healing
An interactive public performance I created back in 2005 (before Facebook and Twitter.) The performance is created by the public sending text messages from their phones. The text messages appear in speech bubbles projected onto public structures. It's since spawned a whole slew of SMS driven projects like animations, interactive movies, interactive rap, and other visual performances.
In 2008 TXTual Healing even made an appearance as part of the Obama campaign.

The Classic Romero film broken into an interactive graphic story where you text message in the next line of dialog to and it makes the movie play forward. Your message goes in the next speech frame. This footage was shot at Le Ferme Du Buisson in Noisiel France.

TXTual Healing (with performers)
Actors in the windows paired with SMS created dialogue sent from passersby in the street. NYPD swung by to check it out, they are huge fans. Special thanks to the Chelsea Art Museum.
