Avant garde architects Minimaforms' SMS text message public sculpture ‘Smoke Signals’ at the Offload Festival which took place in Bristol on 13 - 16 September 2007. As a lead up to iShed's Pervasive Media commissioning fund (which will launch in November 2007), Watershed supported a range of located media activities as part of the Offload programme.
Based on the ancient system of trading messages, Smoke Signals allowed participants to text in real-time their messages onto plumes of smoke across Bristol Harbour.
