11 / 22 / 11 Happy Max Headroom Day

Can you imagine 1987 and a bare ass on American tv?

"Everyone was all excited about 11/11/11, but how could they possibly ignore 11/22/11? More than simply being easy to remember, it’s also the 24th anniversary of the Max Headroom Broadcast Signal Intrusion, possibly one of the strangest moments in American popular culture."

How To Hack Video Screens On Times Square

Cool!

"the way it works is pretty simple: plug in my transmitter into the iphone 4 and play back any video clip. you can play it through the ipod feature or through the camera roll. the transmitter instantly sends the video signal to the video repeater and the video repeater overrides any video screen that it's being held next to. it doesn't matter what shape or size the hacked screen is because the hack video will simply keep its correct dimensions and the rest of the hacked space will stay black.

i chose times square for my demo because it has lots of video screens to try it on. it is also one of the most monitored and secured areas in new york city and that made it that much more fun :). you can see in my video that the repeater is pretty powerful but the signal is not very stable yet. i'm working on that. i will post a new video later this week explaining how i made this prototype."
