Digital Aquarium

An exhibition, the Digital Aquarium, created by interactive designers Digit will be on view at the Design Museum Tank from 15 August to 17 September. Designed in conjunction with Motorola, the interactive exhibition uses 150 mobile phones, brought to life whenever a passer-by dials one of the numbers posted on the glass walls of the tank. The call starts a chain reaction as the signal travels from phone to phone creating the effect of fish swimming around as each mobile lights up, vibrates and rings in a programmed sequence.
