Using the latest technology, a traveling installation in New York City reminds passerby about the challenges facing the city's homeless population and empowers viewers to take action.
The installation is comprised of a video projection of a homeless man, which asks pedestrians to use their cell phones to send a text message that will help the homeless man get shelter. The video shows the homeless man entering a home to show viewers the impact they've made.
