Heineken recently turned 140 years old. And, to help celebrate, they constructed a giant LED screen, with their iconic beer bottles acting as individual pixels. The seven day construction in Amsterdam saw the installation of about 5,000 Heineken bottles that displayed videos and images submitted to Facebook.

Fans were encouraged to visit Heineken’s fan page and submit pictures and celebration messages — with the best ones eventually displayed on the bottle wall.

Have a Light Lunch with The Edible Desk Lamp

Working through lunch again, and can’t get away from your desk? Lucky for you, New York-based artist Victor Vetterlein has come up with an edible desk lamp. Officially-titled Bite Me, the lamp is made from vegetable glycerin and agar, with an embedded LED light source.

Once the LED is removed and the lamp is softened in water, it can be consumed, and you can get back to work. Have fun doing those expense reports in the dark, office drone. Bite Me will be available soon in four flavors — orange, cherry, blueberry and apple.
