touch here ––> 1980
Spectacolor Signboard, Times Square

touch here —> is a reference to early touch screen technology and my message to New Yorkers in 1980.

It was was created at SPECTACOLOR Inc., the first computer-controlled light board in Times Square. The SPECTACOLOR sign displayed animated imagery across over 8192 lightbulbs in a 64 X 32 array.  Each of 2048 pixels was comprised of four (non-LED) lightbulbs: one each of red, green, blue and white.
