Hello, World: A Cart with a Camera Lets Brooklynites Broadcast

NOVEMBER 5, 2010

A rolling video booth connects the streets of Brooklyn with the world—instantly—at the press of a big red button.

If you’re out and about in Brooklyn, you may encounter Brooklyn Mobile, an internet-video-booth-in-a-box that rolls through the borough giving local folks a chance to broadcast whatever they like. The citizen-vids are immediately uploaded to a YouTube channel that anyone can watch (whole days’ worth of videos are edited together here at blip.tv). While it’s a great way to say “hi, mom!” or shout out your business, the booth’s creators hope it will have a more significant social impact.

Brooklyn Mobile is part of the Broadcaster Project, which has been exploring ways to develop an easily duplicable open platform internet video upload appliance that can be run as a sustainable business on its own, or, alternately, pay for itself by allowing small businesses to take care of their own media presence. The Brooklyn Mobile video booth spends most of its time in the Downtown Brooklyn area, but it occasionally travels further afield and may be available for special events within the borough. Rocketboom recently covered the project as well.
