In it, thanks to nanotechnology, every flat (and not flat) surface of buildings are turned into giant screens with built in nanos loud speakers. Now, imagine if you will every building turned into a projector-billboard (and I imagine with the expense of those huge projectors and all the electric juice it takes to run them, it would be inevitable to pay for them). Imagine them turned into AR billboards. That know where you are, and follow you, shouting, as you try to walk past the building. No thanks! But it's probably inevitable. Especially since we've already got flexible OLED screens in the pipe, and flexible,stretchable carbon nanotube loudspeaker fabric, that doesn't distort sound as it's stretched/bent. @Aaron – You’ve presumably read Neal Stephenson’s novel Diamond Age?

It shows how audio/visual techniques can transform, create, expand, amplify and interpret spaces by using large scale video projections on architecture. It is a live audio/visual performance composed of animated monochrome geometrical shapes matching the real size and form of the quadrilateral alluminium modules which form the facade of the building. The visual performance is accompanied with a digitally produced soundscape consisting of abstract sounds synchronized to the movement of images re-shaping and transforming the building on which they are projected. The building in turn influences and transforms the projections as well. *Griduo is formed of Alican Aktürk and Refik Anadol both graduate students and teaching assistants in İstanbul Bilgi University Visual Communication Design. Working in the fields of live video/audio performance and architectural photography, the duo is particularly interested in the relationship between architecture and media.

I wonder how hard it is to set all the technology in place? If you want to see a low tech version using just a van, a laptop, and a projector you should check out "laser graffiti" http://graffitiresearchlab.com/?page_id=76 That was amazing footage.
