HELLO LAMP POST

This summer, people in Bristol will be able to spark up conversations with the city, using nothing else but the humble text message function on their mobile phone.

Hello Lamp Post invites you to attempt a whole new way of communicating, through lamp posts, post boxes and other familiar street furniture, by texting the unique codes found on each object. Codes can be found around the city, used to identify public objects when they are in need of repair.

With Hello Lamp Post, these codes become secret passwords that allow you to ‘wake up’ a sleeping object and discover what it has to say. Will it be pleased to see you? Irritated at having been left in the rain? Or will it tell you a secret? Each exchange will last for a few messages before you are asked to come back and talk some more another day. The more you play, the more the hidden life of the city will be revealed.
