I've been perusing through the 2005 finalist for Rhizome commissions and I like the way these people think. :)

CityPong is a large scale urban game that pits cities against one another in a classic game of pong. This project is an exploration into collective behavior, regionalism, and experimental gaming.

(I wish they would as least make their text selectable though!)

Anyways, I'm obviously biased into liking their idea but it's a great update to Loren Carpenter's experiment that Kevin Kelly wrote about in this chapter of Out of Control.
