While night time film projections are nothing new to those who've been to a drive thru cinema or seen a Rooftop Film in New York City. Using projections at events are nothing new either, it's pretty common actually. In the case of lighting up buildings on the street with art, on the other hand is a growing phenomenon. A public display of beauty and whimsy as passers by can enjoy art in motion on a otherwise static building.Earlier this month, iGoogle Artist Themes Launch party did just that. Using artwork represented in the new feature, they projected these images all over NYC's Meat Packing District bringing a sense of awe to a notoriously jaded population. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HydsuXsaD8cBristol lights up their city for the 5 Days of Christmas, not just with traditional Christmas lights, but again with projections, some stretching as long as 400ft and lasting for 5 days. Each projection was custom made for each of the grand buildings graced with these lights. http://www.vimeo.com/859097 And why should the projections be kept inside? Beauty is much more meaningful when it is shared.
