The Mattress Factory is a museum of contemporary art that presents art you can get into — room-sized environments, created by in-residence artists. Jeffrey Inscho of the Mattress Factory wrote about how they are using the Brightkite Wall:
“We’ve hung a 42″ flat screen TV in the museum lobby that will display text messages and photos sent by museum visitors [the Brightkite Wall]. When available, and when appropriate, museum staff can pop into the conversation to answer questions or engage in the discussion.
Participants will also be able to send direct messages to one another as long as they’re opted-in to the service. All [the Brightkite Wall] activity can be viewed online via a sidebar portal here on the MF blog that links to this dedicated URL, the idea being that a participant who visited the museum weeks ago will be able to communicate with someone currently on-site about their MF experience.”
We are huge fans of the Mattress Factory, and highly suggest a visit if you are in the Pittsburgh area. On a side note, check out the performance they orchestrated for Google’s Street View Car aptly named Street With A View.

The Brightkite Wall is free, self serve to set up and users can participate on the fly without a preexisting Brightkite account. It’s a great way to engage community around your venue, business or event. Learn more.
Do you use Brightkite in an interesting or noteworthy way? Let us know.

Some workers dropped a bucket on his leg and broke it! I paid so much money and instead I could have paid those 10 bucks for pet insurance.
