Located in Helsinki, a huge 'touch-sensitive' screen has been installed, which functions as a collaborative art/information project for the city.

Members of the public can stand in front of the screen and scroll through the media content by using 'Minority Report'- type hand gestures [always an entertaining way to end the evening after having a few beers.

The wall is designed to accept content from public sources like Flickr and YouTube with the aim of sharing the information and giving visitors a 'good feel for the city'.
