Throughout the duration of the Brighton Digital Festival, the second floor windows of our headquarters at International House Brighton will be draped with a hand-crafted LED curtain.
These windows will display personalized messages and designs from Twitter users around the world, as well as information about the Brighton Digital Festival and its events.
Anyone can broadcast their own message, whatever it may be, and have it displayed across one of Brighton’s busiest spots (16 million footfall per year) and broadcast across the world via webcam.
bdf stands for the Brighton Digital Festival, an annual community driven grassroots festival celebrating digital arts and culture.
FTW stands for ‘For The Win(dow)’, an acronym for the 11 meter long LED digital canvas overlooking Brighton Station.
