Oslo design hotel The Thief (which previously replaced all its pay-TV porn with contemporary art) is letting guests choose to sleep beside a rock star of their choice in an interactive stunt. The Guardian reports that the hotel is launching an interactive suite that encourages guests to project a life-size image of their favourite musician onto the bed beside them.
