Txt of the Living Dead is projected on a screen in France, complete with text-messaged speech balloons.

An American mashup artist let passers-by put words in giant zombies' mouths last week.

The show, called Txt of the Living Dead, projected 15-foot-wide, black-and-white stills from George A. Romero's classic 1968 horror flick Night of the Living Dead onto buildings. Text messages from random people on the street then filled comics-style speech balloons that were added to the images in what New York artist Paul Notzold called an "SMS-enabled interactive street performance."

"It's all uncensored, and that's the beauty of it," said Notzold, a 33-year-old art director who also teaches about cell phones at Parsons The New School for Design.

It's a transient, high-tech form of graffiti.

Notzold's work is one of several public art projects, like Smoke Signals and the Helloworld Project, that encourage viewers to become participants.
