"Celebrating its 20th anniversary the Chaos Computer Club made a special present to itself and the city of Berlin. From September 11th, 2001 to February 25th, 2002, the famous "Haus des Lehrers" (house of the teacher) office building at Berlin Alexanderplatz was turned into the world's biggest interactive computer display: Blinkenlights (a term defined by the Jargon File)."

"This first project gave rise to the group Project Blinkenlights, which went on to create the installations Arcade (Paris 2002), Stereoscope (Toronto 2008) and Polychrome (since 2023)."

"The idea came about in mid-August 2001 on the way back from HAL2001 (Hackers At Large) in Enschede, the Netherlands. Four weeks passed between the first thought and the first movie on the facade. The installation was also meant as a remembrance of Wau Holland, the founder of the Chaos Computer Club, who had died on July 29th, 2001."

"The upper eight floors of the building were transformed in to a huge display by arranging 144 lamps behind the building's front windows. A computer controlled each of the lamps independently to produce a monochrome matrix of 18 times 8 pixels."
