The >GreenPix zero energy mediawall is an innovative glass curtain in front of the Xicui entertainment complex in Beijing. It acts as a self sufficient screen consisting of color LEDs behind glass panels with integrated photovoltaic cells. The screen is charging during the day and flashing at night. We reached there in the afternoon and couldn’t witness its shining beauty but were nevertheless impressed by its construction. The building mainly houses an overprized seafood restaurant inside – no traces of  the >advertised digital arts space so far. Therefore had to play with some Timothy Leary movies from the >sarcophagus on the mediawall simulator. The last picture is taken from the >project website (and i’m oncemore wondering where they get the blue skyes on their pictures from :).”
