Tate Britain's Bluetooth christmas tree

"Each year Tate Britain invites an artist to create a Christmas Tree. This year sculptor Richard Wentworth has dressed a traditional Norwegian Spruce tree with broken halves of plates and strings of dimmed domestic light bulbs. Text panels on the base describe the histories of the tree's four elements: the lightbulb, the plate, the Christmas tree and the plinth," reports ArtDaily.com

"Visitors are invited to interact with the tree by leaving digital presents (photos, movies, texts etc) via the Christmas tree's bluetooth antenna. If your phone has bluetooth you can send a file to the tree, choose the send via bluetooth option on your phone and choose Christmas tree from the available devices. If you cannot connect to the tree you can send your file via email to christmastree@untitledfolder.org. The digital presents will be unwrapped at www.untitledfolder.org/christmastree on Christmas day."
