Need an idea for a new ad campaign?
There is a new type of artistic endeavor that's gaining some steam - that of customized projections. I don't mean showing a movie on the backlot of a corporate maze, I mean projecting images & video & sound somewhere in the city center. Imagine a dazzling show of imagery & light happening every night in the middle of your city, projected against city hall, a cosmopolitan building or just a friendly neighborhood skyscraper.
I first saw some attempts at this in the Netherlands, where artists used their ability to display art publicly (supported by the danish government) to the extreme and held controversial art exhibits displayed against City Hall's backdrop. A great exercise in democracy, if you ask me.Here's a video of some of the best of what's new in video guerilla projection.
