How the Mattress Factory Art Museum uses the Brightkite Wall

February 11th, 2009

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.

    Bedding and Mattresses
    Your Mattress will be the most important piece of furniture you ever purchase. Your physical, mental and daily performances are all directly correlated to the quality of sleep you're getting. If your waking up with aches or stiffness these are signs that you need a new mattress. Lower back pain can be directly contributed to sleeping on a bad mattress. The older we get the better quality mattress we need. 800 coils on a queen is considered a good quality mattress. Latex is our top selling mattresses and I expect will be for a very long time. Health and comfort wise latex is the best. We will provide you with a top quality Canadian made mattress at the lowest possible price.
