This enormous Space Invaders screen, played by throwing balls at the invaders, is an installation at the OFFF festival in Barcelona. I can’t wait until advanced touch surfaces are so common that you can hack stuff like this into your video wall at home, or use your office’s Minority Report display to play a game of future Risk. As it is, we have to leave it to hackers and art collectives to make our freaky Space Invaders walls, but as long as it’s happening somewhere I’m satisfied.

Incidentally, a friend of mine tipped me off that the intro video for the festival was pretty awesome; you can check that out here.
