U2 Super Size It

We know you like big TVs. Otherwise you wouldn’t be in here.

But there’s big (like our 50 inch PS8000) and then there’s BIG, like this 50 ton expanding screen currently being used for U2′s 360º tour. With a screen area of over 3,800 sq feet, made up of 500,000 pixels, and expanding, contracting, and changing shape in all directions to enhance the gig experience. Or as put by creator Chuck Hoberman

“The Expanding Video Screen fuses technology, design and architecture. It’s a video display that becomes something else, a living theatrical event. This project has been a true feat of engineering, accomplished by a fantastic team of architects, engineers and artists.

I wonder how Gears of War 2 might look on that?
