[sudo-discuss] Ripple Project

Made me think about Sudo Mesh...

"Ripple explores how information is propagated across loosely coupled
networks with no central controller. The installation mimics the way ants
communicate in the sense that information is relayed to the nearest
neighbor only, as opposed to being broadcast to all participants. Where the
ants use pheromones and touch as the message medium, Ripple uses infrared
signals. The invisible infrared communication between the nodes is
translated to visible light by each node so that viewers can get a glimpse
of how information travels across a network when each node can only
communicate with its immediate neighbors. Viewers may further interact with
the installation by breaking the "line of sight" between the nodes there by
blocking or reflecting the IR signals causing information to be lost or
distorted."
