Installation Prints Wikipedia Edits in Real-Time

In honor of Wikipedia's 10th anniversary, designers Dean McNamee and Tim Burrell-Saward created an installation that, in their words, "would highlight the effort and value behind Wikipedia."They decided to suspend 18 printers from the ceiling of a West London building, where the site was celebrating its anniversary. Every time a contributor made an edit to any article on the site, one of the printers would produce a small slip of paper, giving a brief summary of the article, and highlighting the edit that was made. The result: a physical, real-time record of Wikipedia's edits. And lots of paper.
