Subway "parasite" uses a Mac mini to project art

Subway parasite

Some Berlin artists have created a subway "parasite" by loading a Mac mini, a projector, and a battery power supply into a suction-cup equipped suitcase that they then slapped on the side of a subway train. The system projects video of an imaginary world onto the tunnel wall as the train races along, playing off the idea of subway tunnels being sort of magical, unexplored places to most passengers. It all sounds very nice and artsy, but if we see some shadester trying to stick some non-descript box on the side of one of our subway trains, we're not even going to think twice about testing out that new Taser gun of ours on his sorry artistic ass.
