If any of you happens to be in New York City, drop by the lobby of the new New York Times building. It's open to the public, and there is a great installation there. The sound is all powered by Pd and the text handling and sequencing was done with Python.

Moveable Type Mark Hansen and Ben Rubin (in progress, to be completed in fall, 2007)
"Moveable Type, by New York artist Ben Rubin and U.C.L.A. associate professor Mark Hansen, is an artwork commissioned for the ground- floor lobby of The New York Times Building in New York City. When complete, it will be a dynamic portrait of The Times. Statistical methods and natural-language processing algorithms will be used to parse the daily output of the paper (news, features, editorials) and the archives, as well as the activity of visitors to NYTimes.com (browsing, searching, commenting). The resulting refracted view of The Times will be displayed on 560 vacuum- fluorescent display screens installed in the lobby."
I'll post more on this when I get it, like video would be nice...
