Interview with the GreenPix Zero Energy media wall

By Allan Chochinov - August 29, 2008

Scribemedia's got a nice video with Simone Giostra, who's company Simone Giostra + Partners (along with Arup, natch) designed the 20,000-square-foot LED wall powered by solar energy. The GreenPix Zero Energy media wall covers the facade of the Xicui entertainment center--not far from the Bird's Nest--absorbing solar energy during the day and using it to power the display at night. And if you thought the olympic's opening ceremony was all about "people as pixels," this video takes on the question "what happens when you don't have that many pixels" to begin with? Well, you stand further away, of course.
