Time Square New York Hacked with iPhone
Not sure if this is real, but I'd like it to be.
It's called 'Frequency Shift Keying'. It's a method for bi-directional serial communication using the combined mic/headphone jack in an iPhone. It's similar to old telephone modems in practice; converting serial data to audible tones on the left and right channel and then back into data on the receiving end. It's done this way because Apple does not allow your average Joe access to all the hardware data ports. That part at least is plausible.

Even if you haven’t, it’s worth taking a look at the demo.

Advertise Nothing
The government funds an art piece that comments on advertising.
A provocative new sculpture has opened at the U.S.-Canada border crossing near Vancouver, BC. It’s a billboard advertising...well, nothing.Borrowing the effectiveness of billboards to redirect attention away from the landscape... this permanently open aperture between nations works to frame nothing more than a clear view of the changing atmospheric conditions beyond.How the installation came about: Lead Pencil Studio was shortlisted for a project to design public art at a new northern-border control station through the GSA's Design Excellence program.
Well, we think it is awesome, and we're elated that the government's supporting Lead Pencil Studio. Headed by Mihalyo and Annie Han, they've built a career on blurring the divide between architecture and art; questioning the idea of consumer culture has been a recurring theme. They've produced a raft of evocative installations: outdoor scaffolding in the middle of the Oregon grasslands, full-scale shops (without any merch) in an old shop, and so on. Think of them as a sort of Christo in the age of Christine O'Donnell.
