Change the colour/pattern of some Kent bridges by texting

A new interactive art exhibit is being unveiled in a Kent town with an added bonus for mobile phone users.

The two bridges in the heart of Maidstone will be illuminated by Light Elements – a permanent display hanging from St Peters’ and Maidstone bridges.

Members of the public can change its combination of colours and patterns by texting earth, wood, fire, water, metal or elemental to a nominated number.

Nifty. I really like to see stuff like this.
